Retain can archive messages from a mobile device.
The RetainService Android App is available under the Tools menu as Android APK Retain App for Android Phones
Android Oreo 8.x or later.
If the user will travel internationally it is important to set the device to connect with port 80 as port 48080 is blocked by telecom companies across borders.
Download to the mobile device manually or with an MDM. See Creating a Mobile (Android) Module
in Retain 4.10: Archiving Guide.
Once installed the RetainService app appears.
After the RetainService app has been installed the Retain Administrator may send a registration email. This will include a JSON file with registration details.
You may be asked to log into the app the first time. This will be your email address for the user name and the Registration ID for the password.
If the administrator has the IMEI of the device, a message can be sent to register the device remotely.
Once logged in the main page shows the settings for the app.
The options menu is available under the three vertical dots. This provides Logs, Enroll Device, ACE Enrollment and Send Data to Router.
The logs option will show the logs.
