Metaspike

Metaspike makes Forensic Email Collector, a tool that connects to cloud mail providers and preserves messages as evidence. The company is listed in the United States, and its users are digital forensics examiners and eDiscovery professionals.

What Metaspike offers

• In-place search — searches a mailbox on the server before acquisition so only matching items are preserved, without changing the target mailbox.
• Search term reports — loads term lists from a file and reports hits for each line.
• Linked attachments — finds and collects OneDrive, SharePoint and Google Drive attachments, including revisions, packaged with their parent emails.
• Flexible authentication — supports OAuth 2.0 and other sign-in methods for Microsoft 365, Gmail, Google Workspace, Yahoo and AOL.
• Wider collection — preserves server metadata as well as calendars, contacts and notes.

Who it works with

The software is built for investigators and legal teams who cannot always collect a whole mailbox because of privacy or date-range limits.
