Complete Your Belkasoft X Toolkit with Specialized Email Forensics
Belkasoft X excels at multi-source evidence analysis with BelkaGPT AI. Aid4Mail is the email-specific front end—converting and migrating email, culling at the source, and collecting files linked inside emails before import into Belkasoft.

Where Aid4Mail Complements Belkasoft X
Belkasoft X provides comprehensive multi-source analysis. These are the email-specific stages where Aid4Mail prepares, converts, and packages evidence first.
Culling Before Download
Belkasoft reality:
Belkasoft’s cloud acquisition is per-account; filtering largely happens at review, not before download.
Aid4Mail solution:
Cull server-side—by keywords, participants, and dates—before download across Microsoft 365, Exchange, Gmail, and IMAP.
Conversion & Migration
Belkasoft reality:
Belkasoft extracts and exports email for review (EML, RSMF, Concordance, PDF), but doesn’t convert to PST/MBOX/MSG or migrate to live mail targets.
Aid4Mail solution:
Convert to PST (no Outlook, MAPI, or CDO), MBOX, MSG, EML, PDF/PDF-A, HTML, CSV, XML, and JSON—and migrate to IMAP, Microsoft 365, or Gmail.
Email-Linked Cloud Attachments
Belkasoft reality:
Belkasoft acquires Drive and OneDrive as standalone cloud sources, not as files linked inside specific emails.
Aid4Mail solution:
Resolve files linked inside emails from both Google and Microsoft clouds in one workflow, with a FileMetadata.csv manifest and parent-email MIH+ linkage.
Deduplication Beyond the Basics
Belkasoft reality:
Belkasoft’s deduplication isn’t documented as EDRM MIH-based.
Aid4Mail solution:
Produce EDRM MIH and MIH+ values—covering the ~10–20% of mail (drafts, some sent items) that has no Message-ID—for cross-vendor dedup lists.
