In most disputes the paper trail is an inbox — years of it. ExhibitMail turns raw mailboxes into a searchable, scored, citable body of evidence: upload the e-mail, describe the case, and AI ranks every message by how much it matters. Ask questions in plain language and get answers cited to the source e-mails.
For parties in litigation and the attorneys who represent them — e-discovery without the enterprise price tag.
Free to start — upload and try it on your own e-mail before paying anything. No password: we send a sign-in code to your e-mail.
Already have a case? Sign in
Search ten years of correspondence in milliseconds — or just ask. Every claim the assistant makes carries a clickable exhibit reference.
Full-text search across the entire history with filters for people, periods and relevance — plus AI deep scoring that reads every message against your case description and ranks what's likely to matter. Review the top of the pile first, not 60,000 e-mails in date order.
A private case workspace you share with counsel: search, read threads, tag key e-mails, print to PDF. Every message carries a permanent exhibit reference (E-00417) that goes straight into filings — and an audit log records who looked at what.
"What was promised about royalties before the 2015 amendment?" The assistant searches the corpus, reads the candidates, and answers with clickable citations — including the evidence that cuts against you, because opposing counsel will read the same e-mails.
Sign up with your e-mail and name the case. A setup assistant interviews you about the dispute — what happened, who's who, which agreements matter — and configures the case from your answers.
The assistant walks you through exporting from Gmail (Google Takeout), Apple Mail, Outlook or any IMAP provider, step by step. Upload the mailbox; indexing and relevance scoring run in the background.
Invite your attorney by e-mail — no license, no seat fee. Search, tag, ask questions, print exhibits to PDF. Clients gather the e-mail; counsel works the case.
Enterprise e-discovery platforms are built — and priced — for law firms: platform fees, per-gigabyte hosting, sales-led onboarding. Desktop forensic tools are built for specialist operators. ExhibitMail is the alternative for individuals and small companies: the party in the dispute runs it themselves, and invites counsel in.
Sign up with an e-mail address and upload a mailbox export — no sales call, no demo booking, no firm subscription. The setup assistant interviews you about the case in plain conversation; no e-discovery training required.
One transparent one-time activation priced by case size, plus credits you spend on what you actually use — AI scoring, assistant questions. Flat hosting while the case is active; when it goes idle it archives instead of billing. No firm subscription that outlives the dispute, no per-gigabyte hosting meter, no seat licenses.
The AI reads every e-mail against your own case description — the parties, agreements and timeline you set up — not a generic relevance prompt. And counsel joins with two clicks: invited by e-mail, with roles and a full audit trail.
Start free and see it work on your own e-mail before paying anything. Then one clearly priced activation for the life of the case, and credits for what you actually use. No sales call, no seat licenses, no subscription that outlives the dispute.
Signing up, uploading your full mailbox, the guided case setup and your trial credits cost nothing — you search your own corpus and question the assistant before the first invoice exists. Invited attorneys and colleagues never pay anything, ever.
One one-time fee, priced by the number of e-mails in your case when you activate — mail you set aside as irrelevant during setup doesn't count:
| Up to 2,500 e-mails | $49 |
| Up to 10,000 e-mails | $99 |
| Up to 50,000 e-mails | $249 |
| Over 50,000 e-mails | $499 |
Includes starter credits (1,500–20,000 by tier — typically enough for AI-scoring the whole mailbox) and the first 3 months of hosting.
Credits pay for AI actions, at 1 credit = $0.01: deep scoring of every e-mail (estimate shown before you confirm) and assistant questions (charged by actual usage, typically a few credits each). Packs from $10 for 1,000 credits, volume discounts up to 20%. Credits never expire while the case is active.
After the included months, hosting is 2,000 credits (≈ $16–20) per month while the case stays active. When a case goes idle it simply archives instead of billing: everything stays readable and downloadable for everyone on the case, nothing is deleted, and any top-up reactivates it. You can delete the case at any time — its encryption key is destroyed, making the data unrecoverable even in backups. Prices in USD, paid by card via Stripe.
Every case lives in its own isolated database with its own private URL — and is encrypted at rest under its own key (AES‑256). No shared indexes, no cross-tenant queries; a stolen disk or leaked backup is unreadable, and deleting your case destroys its key.
Only people the case owner invites can sign in, via one-time codes to their e-mail. Every search, opened e-mail and question is written to an audit log the owner can review — useful for privilege discipline, too.
Your e-mails are never used to train AI models — AI features run on the Anthropic API under commercial terms that prohibit it. During setup you choose whether e-mail unrelated to the case is kept, set aside or permanently deleted, and you can delete your case at any time.
Export your mailbox from your provider (Gmail: Google Takeout → mbox; Apple Mail, Outlook and IMAP also supported — the setup assistant gives you the exact steps, or see our free step-by-step export guides), upload it to your ExhibitMail case, and describe your dispute. ExhibitMail indexes every message, scores its relevance to your case, and gives your attorney a searchable, taggable workspace instead of a 40 GB mailbox dump.
Yes. Create a case per matter and have the client upload their own mailbox through the guided export — no need to ship PST files around. You get scored, searchable, citable e-mail with exhibit references, an audit trail of who read what, and an assistant that answers corpus questions with citations you can verify in one click. A separate sign-in per case keeps matters cleanly apart.
Any lawsuit where the paper trail is e-mail: contract and partnership disputes, royalty and licensing conflicts, employment matters, agency and management break-ups, unpaid invoices, IP ownership questions. If the evidence is "somewhere in the inbox", ExhibitMail is for you.
Starting is free: upload your mailbox, go through the guided setup and try the assistant on trial credits before paying anything. The first purchase is a one-time case activation priced by case size — $49 up to 2,500 e-mails, $99 up to 10,000, $249 up to 50,000, $499 above, counted on the e-mails kept in your case (mail you set aside as irrelevant during setup doesn't count) — which includes starter credits (typically enough to AI-score the whole mailbox) and the first three months of hosting. After that: usage credits for AI actions (1 credit = $0.01) and a flat hosting charge of about $16–20/month in credits while the case is active. Idle cases archive instead of billing — everything stays readable, nothing is deleted, and topping up reactivates. No per-attorney licensing: invited counsel and colleagues never pay. See the full price list.
That's exactly what ExhibitMail is. Platforms like Everlaw are excellent at law-firm scale, but they're sold to firms: platform fees, per-gigabyte hosting charges and sales-led onboarding put them out of reach of an individual or a small company in a single dispute. ExhibitMail is self-serve e-mail discovery for one case at a time — sign up with your e-mail, upload your mailbox, pay with credits for what you use, invite your attorney for free. When the case is over, you're not left holding a subscription.
Tools like Aid4Mail are Windows desktop software for forensic specialists — powerful at converting and filtering mail files, but you work alone, on one machine, with the output. ExhibitMail is a hosted case workspace: nothing to install, works on any computer including Macs, your attorney signs in with an e-mail code, and the corpus is searchable, AI-scored and citable by exhibit reference — with every access audit-logged.
Your case is encrypted at rest: the case database and your uploaded mailbox files are stored only as ciphertext (AES-256), each case under its own encryption key — a stolen disk or leaked backup is unreadable, and deleting your case destroys its key, making the data unrecoverable. Access is invitation-only with one-time sign-in codes, every case lives in its own isolated database, and all activity is audit-logged. Your correspondence is never used to train AI models: AI features run on the Anthropic API, whose commercial terms prohibit training on customer data. During setup you also choose whether e-mail unrelated to your case is set aside, kept, or permanently deleted — so we never hold more of your data than the case needs.
Every imported e-mail gets a permanent reference (E-00417) that never changes — cite it in memos, use it in exhibit lists, and everyone on the case opens the same message. Individual e-mails print to clean PDFs for court-filed exhibits.
AI answers instantly when it can — and a human reads every question and replies by e-mail when needed.
