Critical X-Ways Email Gaps That Aid4Mail Fills
While X-Ways excels at disk forensics, these email-specific limitations can impact modern investigations where cloud evidence is crucial.
No Native Cloud Email Collection
X-Ways reality:
Cannot directly connect to Gmail, Microsoft 365, or IMAP. Relies on third-party X-Tensions or manual exports.
Aid4Mail solution:
Native API connections to 40+ email services with OAuth2 authentication and secure, automated collection.
Extract First, Filter Later Problem
X-Ways reality:
Must extract entire PST/OST/mbox archives before searching. No ability to filter before extraction.
Aid4Mail solution:
Server-side pre-acquisition filtering reduces data by up to 90% before download or extraction.
Limited Export Formats
X-Ways reality:
Outputs emails primarily as individual .eml files. No native PST, PDF, or structured data export.
Aid4Mail solution:
Export to 15+ formats including PST, PDF with Bates stamping, HTML with viewer, CSV, JSON, and XML.
Cloud Attachments Remain as Links
X-Ways reality:
Shows OneDrive/Google Drive links as text. Cannot fetch actual files, their metadata, or revision history.
Aid4Mail solution:
Automatically downloads cloud attachments with full revision history and metadata from Microsoft and Google.
