MailInsights® report

MailInsights® is a reporting facility that uses the data in the reporting database to deliver information related to email usage and trends.

GFI MailEssentials provides the Communication Flow report which gives a graphical presentation of emails exchanged between selected users/groups and their contacts. Other MailInsights® reports can be generated using GFI MailArchiver.

Communication Flow report

The Communication Flow report shows the top 20 contacts that a user communicated with in the previous 30 days.

  1. Navigate to Reporting > MailInsights and select the Communication Flow tab.
  2. Administrators can generate the report for any email user. Click Search to select an email user and click Generate to start building the report.
