I think Microsoft’s Outlook has actually done a good job of adapting to the needs of the archiving market, and in e-mail in general. It’s true that their track record for their other software is shoddy at best, but in terms of multiple e-mail address management, mobile customizability and over functionality, I have to commend Microsoft in at least getting Outlook done right. Let’s just hope that they try to keep consistent with future releases.

I don’t necessarily think that the needs of e-mail archiving is changing, but that the literal practice of archiving is expanding in directions never thought possible. I agree that Gmail really started the trend of near limitless amounts of storage space for e-mail. And with a very intuitive e-mail interface to boot, it’s no surprise that a lot of web based e-mail hosting sites have had to play catch up since then.

I’d prefer a cloud based solution. That way if a server crashes or a natural disaster hits your office, your emails are still safe and sound. It eliminates the hassle of backing up and the expense of increasing physical space for servers.

GFI MailArchiver has a conversation view (via Conversations > Browse) and archived emails can be organized using Categorization Policies (Configuration > Categorization Policies).

What is GFI’s answer to organizing e-mails into conversations and tagging e-mails? How is your archiving solution adapted to this?
