Your legal, sovereign email archiving
A compliant and open source email archiving platform, installed and maintained by DINAO. Your email archives remain on our French servers — encrypted and out of reach of American clouds.
What is Open Archiver?
Open Archiver is a open source, secure, and sovereign email archiving platform designed for legal compliance. It archives, stores, indexes, and allows searching of emails from major platforms: Google Workspace (Gmail), Microsoft 365, PST files, and any standard IMAP server, with an initial massive import followed by continuous real-time synchronization.
Emails are stored in the standard .eml format, with deduplication and compression to reduce costs, and encrypted at rest. Storage can rely on the local file system or on a S3 compatible object storage (AWS S3, MinIO…). A high-performance search engine indexes the full text of messages and their attachments (PDF, DOCX…).
Regarding compliance, Open Archiver offers granular retention policies to automatically manage the data lifecycle, making it a tool suitable for legal archiving and eDiscovery.
