About IMAP access to Enterprise Vault archives
Enterprise Vault's IMAP feature provides IMAP client access to existing Exchange mailbox archives, and to new Internet mail archives for users of other mail services.
Once users have been provisioned for IMAP access, and have configured their IMAP devices and clients, they can access and manage the contents of their archives as far as the Enterprise Vault policies permit. For example, users can archive new content both manually and automatically using their own client rules.
In the case of Exchange archives, the existing regime for archiving and retention remains in place. For new archives that are created for Internet mail users, retention is dictated by the IMAP policies you create and apply to the users when you provision and enable them for IMAP access.
For information about setting up IMAP access and making archives accessible to users from IMAP devices and clients, see the Setting up IMAP guide.
