EX and IMAP Supported E-mail Server on Linux

We had a customer ask if we could use EX for enforcing the retention and disposition of e-mail in their environment. They use "Thunderbird as their e-mail clients and an IMAP supported e-mail server running on the Linux OS."

Can it be done? Or is it limited to Microsoft Exchange/Lotus Notes?

    Hi Christopher,

    from the lack of responses assume it's not possible!

    Basically, EX integrates heavily with Domino, Exchange, Bloomberg... as the system also supports IM, there are interfaces, where one drops messages into the EX system and they are getting archived. Or using SMTP archiving, you could forward all messages to a fake domain (based on SMTP relying) and the EX server listens to this fake domain and archives the messages.

    This would need to be carefully designed, if at all.

    My 5 cents of info. Hope that helps.
    Jochen.
