Remote Access

GFI Archiver provides users with three ways of accessing archived emails:

• GFI Archiver web user interface (UI), accessible from any modern browser
• Outlook Connector for native Outlook integration
• From any IMAPInternet Message Access Protocol-enabled client/device. The IMAP server should be enabled through the GFI Archiver configuration page to use this feature.

All methods allow access both to users on the internal network and outside the firewall.

For internal users:

• The URL to the GFI Archiver web UI needs to be published and should be accessible from any internal network IP address.
• The Outlook Connector needs to be deployed to the user desktops where Microsoft Outlook is installed.
• For IMAP connections, the user can configure the IMAP client by navigating to the Client Access page in the GFI Archiver web UI and following the on-screen instructions.

For external users to access either the GFI Archiver UI, the Outlook Connector or to use IMAP, you will need to configure the firewall to allow external access to the internal GFI Archiver URL.
