Email storage software should have automatic backup feature. The backup should be incremental. And with the growing demand and improvements done on cloud computing, email storage software and its backup tool should be put to the cloud.

Of course, security and ease of accessibility should also be a top concern.

With all these features, email storage software will surely cut any company’s overhead costs.

I would just like to comment on the article’s style. I would appreciate it if you can list (through bulleted or numbered list) next time the tools, features, and / or applications that should be included to the email storage software. This way, your readers (especially me) can easily get what you mean. The list will also answer your article’s title or topic – What should your email storage software include?.

1.
2.
3.

The list style is also a good article structure. We all know that readers has a short attention span when it comes to reading web articles. They only stay to each page 3-5 seconds.

I hope this suggestion will help you in writing your next articles.

@Thomas
Sometimes you are just bound to in-house email storage – the reasons are numerous and I am not going to delve into details. Additionally, cloud storage isn’t a panacea either and frequently it creates more problems than it solves. Because of this, it isn’t always the lesser evil. So you’ve got to stick to in-house storage.

Hi Thomas,

Cloud computing can definitely be a solution for some – indeed, GFI offers GFI MAX MailArchive which is cloud-based archiving.

What we’ve seen is that organizations with an existing on-premise email server tend to go with an on-premise archiving solution as it makes deployment simpler. I’d argue that ease of use depends more on the solution than on whether it is cloud-based or on-premise. There are other reasons for organizations to go with an on-premise solution: questions of confidentiality (and legal requirements), or simply the need to always have access to email even should the network go down.
