Overview
This interface allows you to search in the email archive created by the Exchange Server Toolbox.
You will get a list of the mails to which you have access to. These are either mails you sent or received or you are member of the "ESTMailArchive" security group and will see any email matching your search request.
For every email the direction (incoming, outgoing, internal), the sender, the subject, the recipient/s, the reception date, the size in kB, and the number of attachments are shown.
In this list you can through Drag & Drop save an email from the archive to a target location as an EML file.
If an email is shown in blue font color, it is from an untrusted origin (e.g. it was imported from an EML file).
If an email is shown in red font color after clicking on it, it's validation failed. This means its digital signature that was created when the email was received couldn't be verified. The email probably has been modified.
Below the list of found mails is a preview of the currently selected email.
