How long does it take to process mailboxes with the On Premises Engine?

Updated over a month ago

This mostly depends on the size of your email processing server and number of mailobxes.

Mailbox Scanning Timeline

Mailbox scanning time varies based on email volume, historical scan period, and the number of mailboxes being processed.

Timeline Examples

  • Small deployment (20 - 50 mailboxes): 1-3 days

  • Medium deployment (50 - 250 mailboxes): 1-2 weeks

  • Large deployment (>250 mailboxes): 2-4 weeks

Factors Affecting Processing Time

  • Email volume per mailbox

  • Historical scan period selected

  • Server CPU cores allocated

  • Network connectivity and performance

What Happens During Processing

  • Real-time monitoring - Track scanning progress through the SigParser dashboard

  • Incremental data availability - Recent emails process first, providing immediate insights

  • Automatic scheduling - Processing continues 24/7 until complete

Note: Once initial historical scanning is complete, ongoing daily processing typically takes only minutes per mailbox to maintain current data.
