(Shreveport, LA April 29, 2010) ‐ ArcMail Technology, Inc. a leading provider of email archiving
and email management appliances announced today the release of version 4.0 of the
company’s award winning email archiving appliance. With the completion of this development
phase, ArcMail continues to set the standard for delivering extensive robust features while
remaining the most economical solution in the email archiving marketplace.
The 4.0 release includes infrastructure enhancements that improve all aspects of system
efficiency and performance as well as numerous features requested by customers, partners,
and the marketplace at large. As a result, ArcMails’ 4.0 release provides a significant leap in
performance and functional capabilities. With the new indexing methods, searches are

employing mail stores in excess of 10 million messages yield search results in seconds!
“Our company recognizes the ever growing demand on archiving systems. In response,
we chose to invest in and develop a solution that brings enterprise level performance to
all users of our product line” said W. Todd Gates, CEO and President of ArcMail
Technology. “Instead of stretching our prior solution with features that would have
degraded archive performance, we chose to build a solution that allows greater
flexibility and the ability to grow with our customers’ needs.”
The core of release 4.0 includes fundamental reengineering of the operating system, and
database structure. This overhaul enabled the development team to introduce enterprise level
performance and broad functionality improvements such as Retention Policies, Litigation Holds
(or Holds), Improved speed performance and new user interface, that would not have been
possible with the prior code base.
“As we considered the future of our product and the features requested in the
marketplace, ArcMail focused on fulfilling these requests while maintaining archive

of Product Development. “To balance these requirements, we delivered a major
restructuring of our system that’s designed to meet enterprise level standards while
preserving ArcMail’s exceptional ease‐of‐implementation and ease‐of‐use. The result is
a superior solution that’s easily adaptable and appropriate for all of our customers.”
Speed baby Speed! – As the volume of email ever increases, the quantity of data
contained in the archive also increases placing greater demands on database
indexing and searching functions. With the new indexing methods, searches are
lightning fast and represent up to a 30% performance improvement. Internal
benchmarks employing mail stores in excess of 10 million messages yield search
results in seconds!
New User Interface ‐ Release 4.0 provides a modern, web 2.0‐style user
interface that has the feel of a desktop mail‐reading application, providing richer
functionality and more features while remaining responsive and easy to use.
Single Sign On – The Single Sign On (SSO) feature eliminates the need to log in to
the archive for users who have already logged in to a unit that is bound to a
domain. This provides secure authentication and access control to the archive,
but with less redundant steps to the end user.
Retention Policies ‐ Retention Policies allow organizations to specify how long to
retain different classes of messages in the archive. While many archiving
providers only allow retention policies based on user, ArcMail allows
organizations to create retention policies on any searchable message attribute,
including user. This gives organizations the ultimate flexibility for implementing
retention policies that meet their exact requirements.
Message Holds – Whether originating from litigation, compliance or management
requirements, message holds allow organizations to specify named sets of
messages that are not subject to the organization's retention policy. Messages
that are in one or more holds are not removed from the archive until they are
explicitly released from all holds. Messages may be added or removed from holds
all at once or incrementally over time. Holds may be created, modified, and
released according to the needs of the organization. Holds are an integral part of
the archive and, as such, are a fully searchable using typical message attributes.
Stem based searching – Stem based searching allows users to search against
related words. For example, if one were to search for “produced”, the returns
may be “produce”, “producer”, “producing”, or “production”. This provides users
with greater flexibility searching the archive and drilling down to specific data
contained in the archive database.
Phrase Based Searching – When searching the archive, users can now zero in on
phrases contained within an email and receive results directly correlated to that
search. For example, if one were to search for “123 Main Street”, the relevance
search would return all documents which contained that phrase.
Multi‐Language Support – The software now supports the following languages:
Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian,
Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.
