Self-hosting & data sovereignty
Keeping privileged email inside your firm
Privileged communication is the most sensitive data a firm holds. Most of it lives in a cloud mailbox the firm doesn't operate.

Attorney-client communication carries privilege precisely because it's confidential — yet the typical firm routes all of it through a cloud mailbox provider it doesn't control, mixed with everything else and subject to the provider's access and retention.
EdgeMail is a self-hosted mail system: the firm's own mailboxes and domains, with bodies and attachments stored in firm-controlled storage. Messages can be marked attorney-client or work-product, tied to matters, and held under legal hold.
When discovery comes, full-text and semantic search plus thread reconstruction make production a defined task rather than a scramble — and the data never left your perimeter to begin with.
