JUSTDOCZ · SEARCH EMAIL ARCHIVES

Find the message. And the file attached to it.

An old mailbox export can hold years of useful correspondence. JustDocz makes supported email archives and their attachments searchable on your Windows computer, alongside your documents.

THE EVERYDAY PROBLEM

Put exported correspondence back within reach.

The detail you need may be in the message body, the subject or an attachment. Instead of relying on a remembered attachment filename, search the text extracted from supported archives. This workflow starts with exported files on your computer; it does not require uploading your mailbox to JustDocz.

01

Search common archive formats

Import supported Outlook PST, MBOX and EML files. Look for senders, subjects and words in message text.

02

Find information in attachments

Supported attachments are extracted and indexed as documents. OCR can also process supported scans and images inside an archive.

03

Keep mail and document search local

Search exported correspondence beside the other files you index, with processing on your own computer.

FROM FOLDER TO FOUND

Try a real search in three steps.

This page describes search over exported archives, not live inbox synchronization. Results depend on archive format and condition, attachment support and completed indexing. Test your own export during the trial.

  1. Start with a mailbox export

    Use a supported PST, MBOX or EML archive already saved to your computer.

  2. Import it into JustDocz

    Allow time for messages and attachments to be processed. Large archives and scanned attachments can take longer.

  3. Search the detail you remember

    Try a sender, subject phrase or reference from the correspondence, then inspect the matching message or document.

GOOD TO KNOW

A few practical questions.

Can JustDocz search Outlook PST files?

Yes. PST is one of the supported email archive formats, alongside MBOX and EML. Support and results depend on the particular archive and its condition.

Can it find text inside a scanned attachment?

Supported scanned attachments can be processed with OCR. Searchability depends on successful extraction, completed processing and the quality of the scan.

Do I need to connect my email account?

This workflow uses exported archive files on your computer. No JustDocz cloud account is required for normal use, and your archive does not need to be uploaded to a JustDocz service.
