Download MailVault
New users may download a copy to test run and explore MailVault. The demo copy is full-featured, but limited to three users and one thousand emails. We encourage the “try before you buy” approach and in case you need to, you may apply for an evaluation license.
Note: This is standalone MailVault, where a single installation serves a single organization. Service Providers should explore MailVault SPE.

Latest version
The latest version of MailVault is v7.0.0
Incremental upgrade: v7.0.0 (April 15, 2026)
System requirements
The system requirements obviously depend on multiple factors, the most important being the volume of email you expect to archive, especially on an ongoing routine basis. Storage space would also depend on how long you wish to retain the email.
For small companies, a modern machine, with 8 – 16 GB of RAM should be adequate. Larger organizations, or if the volume of email is significantly larger, are better served by 16 – 32 GB of RAM. If you are a large organization with many thousands of users, or have other specific needs and would like us to help you size your system requirements, or if you have specific queries, please get in touch with us.

FAQs
The demo is a standalone install on your own machine — good for testing but capped at 3 users and 1,000 emails. The SaaS version operates on MailVault's own cloud instance, allowing you to try the entire feature set without installing anything locally.
A modern machine with 8–16GB RAM is enough for most small setups. If you're a bigger organisation with a lot of users or a large volume of mail, it's worth reaching out so they can help size the setup correctly.
Yes. Windows works from XP onward (desktop) and Server 2003 onward, self-contained with no extra prerequisites. On Linux, it's supported on Ubuntu and CentOS (other distros like Debian or RHEL generally work too), and just needs Python 3.8.15 installed.
For a quick look, yes — it's full-featured, just limited in scale. If you want to test it properly with your real volume of users and mail, it's better to request an evaluation license instead.
If you're managing infrastructure for multiple clients rather than just your own company, you'd want the Service Provider Edition instead, not the standalone version — it's built for exactly that.
It doesn't disappear — the archive stays put and fully searchable, even once their account is switched off. This comes up more often than people expect. Old client threads, signed approvals, contract back-and-forth — someone always ends up needing to dig one of these up months or even years after the person's gone, and a proper archiving setup keeps all of it intact no matter what happened to the account.
Modern archiving tools support both. MailVault, for example, works natively with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, but also with older or self-hosted systems like MS Exchange, Zimbra, or plain POP3/IMAP servers — so you're not locked in if you ever change email providers.
Properly archived email should be encrypted, access-controlled by user role, and tamper-detected — meaning no one can quietly edit or delete a message once it's archived. That's part of what separates a real archiving tool from just dumping old mail into a folder.
