What MailVault is
MailVault backs up an organization’s email to a centralized archive where messages can be searched and restored. It can be deployed on-premise, in the cloud, or in a hybrid setup, and supports Linux, Windows, web, and self-hosted environments. The maker lists compatibility with Microsoft 365, Microsoft Exchange, Google Workspace, Lotus Notes, Zimbra, Icewarp, MDaemon, Postfix, Qmail, Sendmail, and servers using SMTP, POP3, or IMAP. Search covers message bodies, headers, and attachments in common formats such as DOC, PPT, XLSX, HTML, and PDF. Archived messages can be restored through POP3 or SMTP, exported as PST, ZIP, or CSV, or accessed by an email client over IMAP. Email Plus also backs up documents, files, calendars, and contacts from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Features include retention policies, legal holds, activity logs, tamper detection, eDiscovery, and access controls. MailVault has no free plan, but a full-featured demo is limited to three users and 1,000 emails.
