Talk:Email archiving

Vendors
Smarsh was listed under External Links with no context. I added a heading "Email Archiving Vendors" and added Global Relay. It's my intent to make this an alphabetical list. By way of disclosure I currently work at Global Relay. I'll see if I can edit other content, and be sure to keep it neutral and independent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Penguinstorm (talk • contribs) 18:22, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Wikification
Attempted to Wikify, added lead paragraph, links and headers and just performed general clean up as best I could. I do agree that this would probably be better to just merge with the journaling article since the similarities are great and differences are minor. At any rate, if this has already been merged, then this can simply be a candidate for deletion. Otherwise perhaps my clean up will help with an over all merging process.

Merge
Electronic message journaling and E-mail archiving appear to refer to the same things. The Electronic message journaling is actually in better shape (in my opinion) so merging the other way is also an option. -- Whpq (talk) 11:26, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

It probably is in better shape - but I think the term E-Mail Archiving is much more widely used —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alanps (talk • contribs)

Brentyoung (talk) 03:20, 5 February 2010 (UTC)==Distinction between archiving and journaling== There's a distinction between archiving and journaling, though the archiving article doesn't identify it.

Journaling is solely the process of capturing electronic messages. It contains all the intricacies of gathering as much metadata surrounding the electronic message (date, time, members of communication, and on and on). Once captured, the messages interface from the journaling system and into the archival system. There are multiple different ways to interface the journaling system and the archival system, such as Exchange's journaling mailboxes.

Archiving is the management of storing messages for longevity. The archival system is more dedicated to memory management (how long messages need to be retained), permissions (who can retrieve what), distributed storage and redundancy, quick retrieval algorithms, etc.

Journaling must be done on the communication network itself, whereas the archival system can be on an entirely separate network. Also, users/administrators should not be able to affect and/or view journaled message at any part of the journaling system. This is for compliance and security. Only after a journaled message has entered the archival system should it then be accessible.

I say keep the articles separate, but identify the differences. Mojodaddy (talk) 21:51, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd say the distinction is too trivial and technical for two separate articles. Put them in the same article and note that the occasional differences in usage. RayAYang (talk) 22:27, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I honestly cannot believe that with how serious email archiving is in the corporate world that it is even being suggested to merge these two clearly separate topics.  I don't have a lot of time right this minute but I think a read here would obviously help those deciding on direction understand that this not only needs to be kept as its own topic but should be elaborated on much more than it currently is.  http://www.itworld.com/security/55954/law-requires-email-archiving    Lets make it right people :-)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.71.4 (talk) 07:08, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

They are two completely different topics; and should be treated as such. Brentyoung (talk) 03:20, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Just like my parents' habit of keeping everything (eg journaling) is not the same as Library of Congress's record management practice, there are big differences between journaling and archiving. In fact, the discussion above simply illustrate the needs to expand the current article to explain the key differences and common misconception. Imapro grad (talk) 01:14, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

I have to say that merging those 2 articles would be a mistake. Email Archiving awareness is greatly increasing with all the regulations organizations have to comply with, especially financial services. Merging both articles would only bring confusion for the readers. In addition, the word "electronic message journaling" is not really used anymore or at least really doesn't the same weight as email archiving in todays economy & storage management industry. To conclude, keep the 2 articles separated ! --Compcrawler (talk) 16:10, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
