Well done! Welcome to ML Sarah!

Great to see a new vendor in the community. Looking forward to learning more about Waterford's products.

Sarah, can you talk about Waterford's email integration with Office 365?

@scottalanmiller Absolutely!
Unfortunately, MailMeter for Office365 differs from MailMeter for Exchange or Lotus Notes because Microsoft does not allow us to access their servers and extract any information. Therefore, we are unable to do a history capture against Office 365, and we are unable to strip out attachments and leave shortcut stubs.
All other functions of MailMeter remain the same. We collect email from Office 365 using an SMTP listener that basically receives a copy of every email that is sent through the Office 365 environment. The archive can be either be stored locally or in the cloud.
Rightfully, this begs the question, why would anyone want to purchase email archiving when Office 365 offers local archiving and tons of email box space? I quickly made a comparison chart that answers this.

Snazzy! Looks really cool!

@SarawithanH Thanks. A lot of people are actively interested in this simply because they want a completely non-Microsoft backup of everything that goes through the system. Less as an active archive and more as a contingency plan. We have a lot of Office 365 customers and while many are happy using nothing but Microsoft because if anything goes south it might take all of their email history with it.
It's common for them to be seeking a third party archiving or backup system to old all of the emails as a last resort against total loss at MS.

I know I was talking to one of our clients about archiving O365, and I cannot remember who it was... I think MailMeter is what they were hoping it would do.

I remember and have already passed on information!
