Forensic Email Collector
Forensic Email Collector is a powerful email preservation tool that can forensically collect emails from Gmail / G Suite, Exchange / Office 365, and IMAP mailboxes such as Yahoo, iCloud, and AOL. It was designed to address the pain points associated with email acquisitions from online services.
Forensic Email Collector’s key features are as follows:
1. Automatic Retries and Resume Capability
Forensic Email Collector takes a snapshot of each mail folder before acquisition and keeps track of each item in the target mailbox. In the event of a network or server error, messages are retried automatically. It is also possible to resume an incomplete project at a later time.
2. Server-side Searching
Using Forensic Email Collector, examiners can search mailboxes directly on the email server before preservation. These in-place searches are run very quickly, and without downloading the messages.
3. OAuth Support and Remote Authentication
Forensic Email Collector can authenticate with Gmail / G Suite via OAuth. Moreover, a small, self-contained application called FEC Remote Authenticator can be sent to custodians so that they can authenticate Forensic Email Collector into their email accounts on their own computer. This allows the forensic acquisition to be performed without having to learn the custodian’s password.
4. Detailed Acquisition and Exception Logs
Forensic Email Collector keeps detailed logs of the acquisition as well as any issues encountered to help make case documentation a breeze. A full log of IMAP communications is kept including requests to and responses from the server. Collected emails are hashed using MD5, SHA-1 or SHA-256 algorithms.
5. Flexible Output Formats
Acquired emails can be output to EML, MSG, and PST formats—simultaneously. Forensic Email Collector’s output is ready to be ingested into digital forensics and eDiscovery tools for investigative work or for electronic document productions.
New features to FEC to make sure it is a joy to use.
Exchange Autodiscover
When preserving email evidence from an Exchange server, you may not immediately know the Exchange Web Services (EWS) endpoint URL. FEC utilizes the Exchange Autodiscover service to automatically configure itself using the target email address and password.
Built-in Connection Profiles
FEC includes built-in connection profiles—including host name, protocol, port and SSL settings—for hundreds of popular domain names used by email service providers such as Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook.com and iCloud. If the target email address matches one of the profiles, server settings are populated automatically for you.
MX Lookup
As soon as you type the target email address, FEC checks the domain name to see if it fits one of the pre-configured profiles such as Gmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo, etc. If it does not, it looks up the mail exchanger records (MX records) to determine the mail servers handling email messaging for the target user’s domain.

This is an update to the FEC Remote Authenticator application only.
Reduced system requirements to .NET Framework 4 from 4.6.1. This allows FEC Remote Authenticator to run on earlier versions of Windows 7 without SP1, Windows Vista, and even Windows XP.
Updated the save token dialog to make it more intuitive for end users.
v3.4.6
Released on 10/15/2018
Direct PST writer—Forensic Email Collector can now write output PSTs all on its own. Outlook is no longer required. In addition to the removal of the Outlook dependency, the direct PST writer brings performance improvements.
Foldered output option for Gmail API—FEC now provides an option to create an output folder structure based on Gmail labels when acquiring Gmail / G Suite mailboxes via Gmail API.
Long file path support—Long file paths inside target mailboxes exceeding 260 characters are now supported.
Improvements to Exchange Autodiscover functionality.
You can now display the password inside the password box when entering credentials.
Introduced option to expand and collapse all child tree nodes when working with the folder tree of a target mailbox.
Verizon.net email addresses are now associated with the AOL built-in profile.
FEC now logs the username used during the acquisition. This can be helpful in instances where the username differs from the target email account (e.g., when delegation is used).
Hardened the folder tree creation process for IMAP mailboxes.
Improvements to the management and hashing of multiple output PSTs when the split output PST option is selected.
The display names of output PSTs are now set to reflect the target email address for easier identification.
Numerous other minor improvements.
