  • Patent number: 11341091
    Abstract: Customers in regulated industries face demanding compliance regulations, including content immutability. While broadened to allow software-based solutions, the regulations for immutability require content preservation to prevent overwriting, erasure or alteration of the content, where the preservation must be implemented through irrevocable features. Embodiments are directed to provision of an administrative user experience to enable customers to create a preservation policy that defines item(s) to be preserved. After detecting enablement of the policy, the item(s) may be preserved, a preservation lock on the policy may be initiated by disabling controls associated with the policy, and an attribute may be set to the policy to identify the policy as locked.

  • Patent number: 11240188
    Abstract: Technologies are described to increase a data limit for a user of a communication application by introducing additional archive mailboxes as the original archive fills up or subsequently added archive mailboxes fill up. Thus, a user's data limit may be effectively removed through the use of N additional archive mailboxes. The additional mailboxes may be integrated into the architecture of the communication application such that their use is transparent to the user and/or an administrator of the communication application or associated service. In other examples, additional mailboxes may be used to add to the capacity of the primary mailbox (cached) as well.

  • Patent number: 10855637
    Abstract: Technologies are described to increase a data limit for a user by introducing additional archive mailboxes as the original archive fills up or subsequently added archive mailboxes fill up. Thus, a user's data limit may be effectively removed through the use of additional archive mailboxes. In some examples, the additional mailboxes may be integrated into the architecture of the communication application such that their use is transparent to the user and/or an administrator of the communication application or associated service through the use of an application programming interface (API) that exposes a single multivalued strongly typed collection instead of dealing with multiple attributes and extending the schema every time a new type needs to be added. A mailbox locations attribute may act as the main storage of serialized mailbox locations and a mailbox identifier attribute may be used for indexing.

  • Publication number: 20180189738
    Abstract: Representative embodiments disclose mechanisms to route electronic communications for supervisory review. Users of a messaging system are assigned appropriate permissions to create and manage supervisory review policies, access supervisory review mailboxes to perform supervisory review actions, run reports and other activities associated with supervisory review. Supervisory review policies are pushed out to a supervisory review agent through a policy sync service and the supervisory review agent tests incoming and outgoing messages against the policy. Each policy selects electronic communications and routes the communication to an associated supervisory review mailbox or folder. Additional assistants can receive other electronic communications (social media, chat, voicemail, etc.) and route them to the supervisory review mailbox if the communication meets one or more policies.

  • Patent number: 9996618
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for locating relevant content items across multiple disparate content sources. Query parameters are received from a user interface for defining a query for searching a number of content sources located on multiple, disparate content servers. A native search is executed on each of the content servers based on the received query parameters, and query statistics and other data regarding content items in the content sources matching the query parameters are received. The query statistics are aggregated across the content servers and presented in the user interface. The presentation of the query statistics may be broken out by each content source, by each query phrase segmented from the query, and the like. In addition, a preview of a number of content items matching the query parameters is presented based on the data received.

  • Patent number: 9378236
    Abstract: One or more indirect recipients of a communication item within a communication management application (CMA) may be preserved in-place. Indirect recipients include individual recipients within a distribution list (DL) via TO, carbon copy (CC), and/or blind carbon copy (BCC) fields of the communication item. At time of submission of the communication item, the CMA in conjunction with an assistant service may expand the DL to retrieve a list of individual recipients from the DL. The DL may be expanded by querying a directory server associated with the CMA. The DL expansion list may be saved to the communication item at the CMA by updating one or more properties of the communication item according to the expansion list. The DL expansion list may then be referenced for indexing so that a discovery search may be performed in-place at the CMA if and when the search is needed.
