Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
In MS Exchange 2013, is there a setting that one could archive / restore every single e-mail that is received by the server, for example in a separate archive folder? &nbsp;Perhaps as a flat file?<br />
<br />
For example: &nbsp;Mails are sometimes deleted by a user or rejected by the system for some reason, and we would like to be able to retrieve those e-mails from somewhere?<br />
<br />
Any such options available, or do we have to look at a 3rd party solution?

MS Exchange 2013 - Mail Archives

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
