More Than Another Copy of Your Mailbox

An email archive keeps a separate, searchable record of business communications outside your team’s everyday mailboxes. It helps protect important correspondence from accidental deletion, mailbox changes and the practical limitations of keeping years of email inside active accounts.

Go Red Robot configures and manages a dedicated archive environment for your organisation. Your team continues using its existing email service while authorised users gain controlled access to retained messages when they are needed.

Search Historical Email

Search archived messages by sender, recipient, date, subject, message content and attachments.

Apply Retention Policies

Seven-year retention is configured by default. Shorter or longer policies can be applied to suit the organisation’s requirements.

Control Access

Use separate user, administrator and auditor access so people only see the messages they are authorised to access.

Preserve Important Messages

Apply legal hold where selected messages or mailboxes must be protected from normal retention-based deletion.

We Handle the Technical Work

1

Choose Your Archive Capacity

Select a plan based on the volume of email you need to retain. Go Red Robot can help if you are unsure.

2

Tell Us About Your Mail System

Provide your primary domain, approximate mailbox count and current email platform.

3

We Build and Connect Your Archive

An engineer prepares your dedicated environment and connects it to the required mailboxes.

4

Your Archive Begins Capturing Email

Configured messages are retained automatically while your existing email service continues working normally.

5

Search and Retrieve When Needed

Authorised users can search, review and export archived messages through the secure archive interface.

Every archive is reviewed and provisioned manually. Go Red Robot will contact you after ordering to confirm the connection method, access requirements and retention policy.

A Dedicated Archive With Independent Protection

Each customer receives a dedicated archive environment rather than an account on a shared archive platform.

Archived messages are encrypted before storage, and access is restricted to authorised systems and users. Connections to the archive are protected using encrypted connections.

A separately managed secondary copy is maintained with an independent infrastructure provider, reducing reliance on any single platform or storage system.

  • Dedicated customer environment
  • Archived-message encryption
  • Encrypted connections
  • Role-based access
  • Logged archive activity
  • Independent secondary copy
  • Managed maintenance and security updates

Retention Controls That Support Your Policies

Email archiving can support record keeping, internal governance, legal discovery and data-protection processes. Seven-year retention is configured by default, but shorter or longer policies can be applied where required.

The correct retention period depends on the organisation, the information being stored and any laws or industry rules that apply to it. Go Red Robot provides the technical controls and helps configure the selected policy, while the customer remains responsible for determining its legal and regulatory obligations.

  • Configurable retention periods
  • Automatic retention-based removal
  • Legal hold overrides
  • Controlled exports
  • Audit history
  • Restricted user and auditor access

Historical Email Imports

Already Have Years of Email to Preserve?

Go Red Robot can manually import historical email from existing IMAP mailboxes so that older communications become searchable alongside newly archived messages.

Historical imports are assessed separately because the time and resources required depend on the number of mailboxes, message volume and source platform.

Case Study

A Year of Real-World Managed Archiving

Clark Group

Go Red Robot has operated a dedicated email archive for Clark Group for approximately one year. The system provides a central location for capturing, retaining and searching the group’s business email outside its active mailboxes.

That live deployment has given Go Red Robot practical experience managing archive ingestion, search, retention and controlled access in a real business environment. The managed service offered here builds on that experience with a polished customer interface and additional independent data protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an email mailbox service?

No. The service creates a separate long-term archive of email from your existing mail system. Your current mailboxes continue to send and receive email normally.

Which email systems can you connect?

Go Red Robot can work with standard IMAP-based mailboxes. We will review your current mail platform and confirm the most appropriate connection method during setup.

Do you charge for every mailbox?

No. Plans are priced according to archive capacity rather than mailbox count. Reasonable technical usage must remain within the resources of the selected archive plan.

How long is email retained?

Seven years is configured by default. We can configure a shorter or longer retention period based on your organisation’s requirements.

Can you import our existing email?

Yes. Historical email can be imported manually from existing IMAP mailboxes. Imports are assessed and quoted according to the number of mailboxes and the volume of existing email.

Can archived email be searched?

Yes. Authorised users can search message content and attachments and filter by sender, recipient, subject and date.

Can messages be placed on legal hold?

Yes. Legal hold can protect selected messages or mailboxes from normal retention-based deletion.

Can we export archived email?

Yes. Archived messages can be exported in EML format by authorised users.

Does the service make our organisation legally compliant?

No service can automatically make an organisation compliant. The archive provides retention, access, search, legal-hold and auditing controls that can support your organisation’s policies and obligations.

Is the archive backed up?

The archive includes storage-level protection and a separately managed secondary copy with an independent infrastructure provider.
