Searching Failed Messages

Users with reviewer role can access the Failed Message database and search for emails that could not be archived or indexed properly.

The Failed Message Tracking page lists all messages stored in the database, grouped as twenty records per page.

Failed Message Tracking Search provides an Archive Reviewer with searchable fields and query behavior similar to Archive Search.

Perform your search. If not satisfied with the results you can change or add more fields to the search. Once the desired results are fetched, you can generate a new archive file containing information that can be exported to a mailbox.

To search failed messages:

  1. Login to GFI OneConnect with an account with reviewer permission.
  2. Click Search Company Archives under the archive section.
  3. Click Search and click Failure Report.
