About Fookes Software

Pioneering email processing technology since 1999, trusted by law enforcement, government agencies, and Fortune 500 companies worldwide

Our Story

Founded in 1996 by Eric Fookes, Fookes Software has been pioneering email processing technology for over two decades. Based in Charmey, Switzerland, we combine Swiss precision and integrity with continuous innovation to deliver solutions that meet the exacting standards of government agencies, Fortune 500 corporations, and leading law firms worldwide.

Our commitment to excellence is reflected in multiple industry recognitions, including a PC Magazine award and the prestigious European IT & Software Excellence Award for Software Innovation Solution of the Year. These accolades underscore our dedication to both technological advancement and the reliable, responsive client support that has become our hallmark.

We began developing email forensics tools in 2002—before many of today’s competitors even existed. Aid4Mail followed in 2005 and has since become the industry standard, trusted by the U.S. Department of Justice, FBI, CIA, half of the Fortune 50, and professionals in over 100 countries. With over 25 years of specialized expertise, we bring unmatched depth of knowledge to email forensics and eDiscovery.

Unlike tools that rely largely on third-party libraries, all core Aid4Mail functionality is developed in-house at our Swiss headquarters. This ensures the performance, accuracy, and data integrity that our clients depend on for their most critical investigations and compliance requirements. It’s Swiss engineering applied to digital forensics—precision that matters when evidence is on the line.

“Aid4Mail exceeds our expectations on the speed in which it can convert data. It can convert larger amounts of data in no time at all. I would say it’s at least twice as fast as the rest of our tools.”

Jon Hanna

ESI Manager at Advanced Discovery (USA)

“I just used Aid4Mail to do an O365 collection and create a PST. I write to say ‘THANKS’ because Aid4Mail performed like a champ. I’m grateful to have your product in my toolkit. Please keep up the good work!”

Craig Ball

Texas Attorney and Forensic Technologist (USA)

“I work for a law firm and we used your product to convert a MBOX file to PST. This software worked brilliantly, it even fixed corruption that existed when we attempted to do it manually or with other software. Thank you for that.”
