Step 2. Choose an Email Archiving Option

Message Archiving provides two options for archiving email messages: journal
archiving and inbound/outbound archiving:

Archiving Option

Description

Journal archiving

Captures all email messages that flow into and out
from your organization, as well as all messages that
users send to each other within your network. With
this option, Message Archiving does not capture
messages directly; instead, it archives messages
that your email server records through its journaling
option.

To archive journaled messages, you must set up
journaling on your email server. Once you complete
this task, your email server journals (records a copy)
all email messages that users send or receive, and
then forwards those messages to Message
Archiving. Note that these operations can impact the
performance of your email server and network.

For an overview of how messages flow into your
archive for journal archiving, see “Message Capture
for Journal Archiving” on page 30.

Note:

You cannot use journal archiving if you are a

Google Apps customer. Google Apps Email does not
provide an option to journal messages. If you are a
Google Apps customer, use the Inbound/Outbound
option described below.
