Administration Guides

• Archiving - Archive Logs: Mimecast Administrators who have been granted access to the Archive will by default only have access to view the metadata of the email.
• Data Retention - Expire Emails from Mimecast: Preservation Policies and your Account Retention setting will determine how long Mimecast will retain emails in the Archive.
• eDiscovery - Specific Content Access Permissions: This article describes the steps involved to segregate content view permissions based on Smart Tag membership.
• Archiving - Archive Search Audit Alerts: The Archive Search Auditing and Alerting features provide additional security and auditing options for administrative archive searches by enforcing a 'search reason' for each search.

Features

• Archiving - Exporting Archived Data: Exports allow Administrators with sufficient permissions to export archived emails from the Mimecast platform.
• Archiving - Saved Archive Searches: An Archive Search allows a Mimecast Administrator or end user to filter messages in the Mimecast Archive.
• Archiving - Searching The Archive: The Archive Search allows Administrators to perform a full search across all emails in the Archive, including Ingested historical email data.
• eDiscovery - Configuring Smart Tags: Smart Tags are similar to folders that can group emails and files together. These can be used to either provide an individual or group to view the contents of messages that they are not the sender or recipient of or provide users access to view files that have been archived.
• eDiscovery - Managing Cases: eDiscovery Cases allow Administrators to group multiple Archive Searches together in a single case.
• eDiscovery - Message Litigation Holds: Litigation Holds allow Administrators to preserve emails in the Archive, ensuring that their retention periods aren’t adjusted either via a Retention Adjustment, a Folder Based Retention (FBR) task, or a retention preservation Policy.
• Monitoring - Monitoring Receipt And Delivery Views: For every email processed (whether inbound, out, bound, or internal), Mimecast provides both a Receipt View and a Delivery View which can be used for troubleshooting purposes.
• Sync & Recover - Listing Search Logs: The Archive contains the email communications for your organization within Mimecast.
