Developing with the eDiscovery Manager email converter APIs

The IBM® eDiscovery Manager email converter application programming interfaces (APIs) provide a service layer that includes separate content filters for different email formats.

The email converter APIs support the following mix of standard and IBM proprietary formats:
  • CommonStore Native (CSN)
  • CSN/MSG, archived by IBM CommonStore
  • Compound email formats, archived by IBM Content Collector
  • Lotus Domino Extensible Language (DXL)
  • Microsoft Outlook (MSG)
  • SMTP/MIME
The email converter APIs offer the following benefits:
  • Email can be converted to its native format or to a common object format.
  • Extensions to the common email object format allow for unique properties for each email archive type.
  • Properties that are returned for Lotus Notes or Microsoft Outlook emails can be dynamically extended.
