Forensic and eDiscovery Capabilities
Aid4Mail Investigator processes emails, images, and attachments 6x faster than the competition.
Your ability to find and collect email is near limitless. Search emails and their metadata from nearly any source including delegated, shared, and public accounts. You can even extract MIME emails from any type of file.
Collect and search attachments from any source. This includes cloud attachments, also known as modern attachments—files that are hyperlinked from an email but hosted by a cloud-service provider.
Prior to collection, search Gmail, Microsoft 365, Exchange, IMAP accounts, and PST files to limit the number of emails downloaded. After collection, filter down to what matters most and even recover double-deleted messages. And with our proprietary Remote Authenticator, access accounts with the owner’s authorization but without needing their login details.
Aid4Mail has its own search engine just for email. Use the same syntax as Gmail, Google Vault, and Microsoft 365 to find and filter emails 10x faster than forensic and eDiscovery competitors. From simple Boolean and fielded searches, to complex queries using synonyms and proximity searching, Investigator puts the power to cull data in your hands.
AI integration enables email filtering with unparalleled accuracy, going far beyond simple keywords to understand meaning and context. Classify emails into relevant categories, streamlining your review process, and organizing evidence with unprecedented efficiency.
Aid4Mail Investigator opens the door to even more conversion capabilities. Whether you convert collected emails to PST, CSV, HTML, PDF, or one of the other many export options, you can ingest the email into your system any way you like. And when you convert with Aid4Mail, you can rest assured that every email message–header, body, metadata, and attachments–is preserved with the utmost accuracy.
AI analysis lets you uncover critical insights through automated summarization, translation, and information extraction. Dramatically accelerate your investigations through automation, eliminating time-consuming and error-prone manual reviews, and removing the guesswork from email processing.
