Transparent email archiving
The Outlook Add-in provides a transparent end-user experience with message preview, instant retrieval and an integrated search of both archived and non-archived messages. Minor differences between the archived and nonarchived mailboxes are the icons against the archived messages and the appearance of the integrated search box. Emails and attachments are retrieved, viewed, and searched in the normal way.

How does Exchange Server Archiver work?
When you install Exchange Server Archiver, nothing is installed on your Exchange server and no information is stored in the Active Directory.

Once installed, an Admin Console provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface for you to configure and manage Exchange Server Archiver.

The Archive Service accesses the mailboxes using configurable and granular rules, and then determines which messages to extract, archive, and stub. It then compresses the messages to be archived, and passes them to the appropriate Storage Service.

The User Archive Access (UAA) Service enables your users to access archived messages. If you choose not to install the Outlook Add-in or the Outlook Web Access Add-in, users can use the Web pages provided by the UAA Service to access their message.
