Industrial-strength email migration, conversion and archival solutions

Forensics & eDiscovery

Speed up your investigation or case-building process by analyzing email content in the tool of your choice, rather than squinting at endless rows of seemingly unrelated bytes in a hex editor. Emailchemy solves the problem of forensic tool data preparation by converting email data into a standard format that any forensic tool can import for analysis.

Email Migration & Recovery

Emailchemy converts email from the closed, proprietary file formats of the most popular (and many of yesterday's forgotten) email applications to standard, portable formats that any application can use.

Email Archival

Preserving email for posterity can be difficult when email software stores your email in proprietary, unreadable files. Emailchemy can help you convert your email to a readable, durable format for archival or even prepare your email for entry into the database of your choice.
