email archiving/filling solution with API support

Posted by _SleezyPMartini_@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 8 comments

wondering if anyone can provide some leads/insight. I have a client looking to implement an email filling/archiving solution. They are in the construction industry and emails have to be filled by project. Due to the nature of the industry (legal claims) email is retained for long periods of time. Users have to able to file/send emails into a specific project folder. Its not unusual for a project to have a few thousand emails filed since the projects can go on for years. We've been looking at MailManager (www.mailmanager.com) as a possible solution, but the platform doesnt support API calls, making integration with scripting or in house dev efforts complicated. trying to see if anyone knows of another platform or might have any insight on how to tackle this.

I have built Open Archiver for email archiving (backup and search), it does support API access, but may I know what kind of API functionalities you are talking about so that I can add support to them? If you are interested, the repo is here: [https://github.com/LogicLabs-OU/OpenArchiver/](https://github.com/LogicLabs-OU/OpenArchiver/)

Depending on the API support - check out MirrorWeb

I'm the founder at [emailvault.app](http://emailvault.app) \- we have both API and MCP on our roadmap. I expect them both to be ready by the end of the summer. We just closed a funding round - I'd be happy to hop on a call to learn more about your use case - sounds interesting.

E-mail is a communication system, not an organization system for projects :) There are software for your use case with many years of development behind since your customer needs is not something new. It can even be connected to email by a specific degree to be able to save those email per project, but it's not limited only to email, it can also contain many other types of files or folders, indexing, e.t.c. Of course if your customer is stubborn and want email not advice you can build multiple local email servers that can be used just as archive servers.

Currently testing the offering from [mailarchiva.com](http://mailarchiva.com) that has a REST API. I like it so far for our use case, but the scripting isn’t a deciding factor.

NetDocuments has API support and Outlook addins to file emails direct to project folders. The Outlook add-in (COM and M365 versions) makes predictions on the filing location which can be helpful. I'm not a massive fan personally but it's pretty good and probably ticks all your boxes

CloudFiler has API support, we were looking at switching from MailManger to them, but they did not have a US based data center at the time. https://help.cloudfiler.io/API
