Daily business routine can hardly be imagined without e-mail as a means of communication among employees, suppliers and customers. With the rapid increase in the number of everyday e-mails within the last few years, the importance for the business environment has also grown. Today electronic documents, such as orders, offers or invoices, can be transmitted electronically, and in a legally valid way by digital signature. Faster handling of business processes and reduced cost make the use of electronic correspondence increasingly popular. In addition, e-mails are often stored in employees' inboxes, accordingly block expensive online memory, and are no longer traceable in case of need. Protecting company data is likewise problematic and difficult to safeguard, e.g. if an employee leaves the company.
