Storing Email Messages

MyMailSM employs RAID 5 or RAID 6 disk arrays for redundant/fault tolerant email message storage, which eliminates the need for archiving the Secure Email message files. By default, MyMailSM maintains a redundant/fault tolerant copy of the secure email storage on each secure email server rather than archiving data via some asynchronous mechanism. MyMailSM does this for the following reasons:

  • Archived data is not synchronized with current data. As a result, email messages you believe are deleted can reappear, causing unexpected consequences;
  • Because we support the use of POP3 email programs such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, individual users can download their own email messages to their personal computer systems and manage their own email message archives if desired.
