The Rules of Civil Procedures, mandate that electronic records, including email, must be produced during the discovery process in a case. At a pre-trial conference the two opposing attorneys will request documents, records, and almost always email. Failing to produce the email may results in penalties, fines, or advice to the jury as to the nature of the unproduced email. Retention of Email records become a common and fundamental practice in businesses today. Email is a business asset and a legal document when communicating with employees, partners, vendors and customers.

Most estimates of the cost to retrieve the data from a single backup tape fall in the $3,000 to $4,000 price per tape. Plus, backup tapes will not have emails that were created and deleted on the same day, thereby missing the backup process.

MessageWatcher's E-Discovery process is fast, flexible and easy to use. Search for words, users, dates, domains, and more. Users can insert notes allowing various parties to share information and thoughts on the email(s) without affecting the original email. User can also export to folders, .pst files, .eml files, or combine files into larger .zip files.

These search activities are logged with users, time, and IP addresses in an audit log.
