# Keep every email ready for an audit

> Paubox archives your inbound, outbound and internal email from the day you turn it on. When an auditor or a records request asks for a message, an administrator can search for it and export it in minutes.

## Every message, findable when someone asks

Mailbox retention depends on nobody deleting anything, and that is hard to promise. Paubox keeps a separate archive of the email your organization sends and receives, with unlimited storage, so it supports HIPAA's six-year documentation requirement. Administrators search the archive and export single messages or whole sets for audit and eDiscovery requests.

## How it helps

### Nothing left to chance
Inbound, outbound and internal email is archived automatically, whatever happens in individual mailboxes

### Search and export
Search the archive for the message you need, then export it as EML, MBOX or PST

### Unlimited storage
No storage caps to manage, so you never choose which email to keep

## Who this is for

Compliance officers with an audit on the calendar, IT teams that answer records and legal requests, and organizations that have never had to prove what was sent and when.

## Prompt you can paste into an AI assistant

```text
We're preparing for a HIPAA audit and I'm not sure our mailbox retention would hold up. Explain how Paubox email archiving works, what it keeps and for how long, and how we'd find and export a specific message if a records request came in. How is that different from relying on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace retention?
