Email Archiving
There has been some talk recently on the web about archiving emails in a law firm. While I agree that large firms may have the funds and the staff to do so. There are solutions for the small and solo firm. I have been using a great program called MailSteward.
MailSteward will archive all of your email in a database for easy retrieval. Click on the Archive button and MailSteward will go to work storing copies of all your email text, HTML, attachments, and raw source, into a relational database. MailSteward has a wealth of features for importing, tagging, saving, and exporting, including the ability to export your vital email information in a number of standard data formats.
I have mine set to do it everyday at 10:00 p.m. And, once it is setup, you don't have to do anything. It works great too. Just yesterday I need to find an old email from a client. I simply went into MailSteward and did a search by the client’s name and presto, there in front of me were all of his emails for the last two years. Wonderful tool and great program.
I would give MailSteward 4 1/2 stars.

I just noticed I have all these invites left for Gmail. Now, I know most of you already have your account. However, just in case you don't, drop me an email at grant.griffiths@gmail.com, put GMAIL in the subject line and I will forward an invite.
