Getting Started
Chapter 2
This Quick Start explains how to set up archiving for one of your user orgs, how to
access your Personal Archive and run reports to verify that messages are being
archived, how to get archiving privileges for one of your administrators, and how
to search the corporate archive.
You can set up archiving for an org, and get access to your Personal Archive in a
matter of minutes.
With the addition of Message Archiving to your service, you have the option to
archive inbound, outbound, and journaled (inbound, outbound, and intradomain)
email. Like the other components of your service, Message Archiving does not
require any additional software or hardware--every aspect of the service is hosted
on our servers, and you access and manage your archive from a web browser.
The figure below shows how the service archives your inbound messages.
