MailXaminer is a digital forensic program built to allow the examination of email messages from both web & application based email clients. The application is being developed by SysTools Inc, with the slogan ‘Simplifying Email Forensics’. MailXaminer first loads messages from the chosen email storage source and arranges them hierarchically for the purpose of evidence analysis and extraction. The product name derived from a combination of ‘Mail’ and ‘Examiner’, denoting it as a platform to examine emails. The programming of the application provides carving out of deleted evidence or evidence from damaged sources in cases of evidence spoliation. Post analysis, the software serves output generation in court admissible digital formats (e.g. Concordance, Adobe PDF).
