Key Features
Designed specifically for Mail Assure EML ZIP exports — not a generic EML opener retrofitted for the format. Every feature reflects how Mail Assure structures its archive exports.
Open Mail Assure EML ZIP Directly
Load Mail Assure EML ZIP archives in one click without manual extraction. The viewer reads the ZIP structure directly, displaying inbound and outbound archives as separate folders in the left panel. Exactly mirrors how Mail Assure organises its admin and per-user exports.
Inbound & Outbound Archive Split
Mail Assure stores inbound and outbound email as separate archives. The viewer preserves this split, displaying each direction in its own folder in the navigation panel. Switch between inbound and outbound views with one click. Counts per folder shown for quick orientation.
Search by Sender, Subject or Date
Find any message in seconds using the built-in search bar. Search across sender, recipient, subject line and date range simultaneously. Filter to inbound-only or outbound-only results. Locate specific messages in archives containing thousands of EML files without opening each one manually.
Preview Email Body & Attachments
Click any message to read the full email body in both HTML and plain-text rendering modes. Inline images display within the body. Attached files are listed in the attachment panel with type, name and size. Preview common attachment types (PDF, images, Office documents) without saving to disk.
View Complete RFC 5322 Headers
Switch to the Headers tab to see the full RFC 5322 header block for any message. All Mail Assure X-headers are displayed: X-SPAMFILTER-UIDL, X-Recommended-Action, spam score fields, SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication results and original mail server routing hops. Essential for investigating spam filter decisions and email delivery issues.
Download & View Before Links Expire
Mail Assure download links expire after 7–30 days depending on your administrator's configuration. Once you have downloaded the EML ZIP, the viewer lets you browse the entire archive offline at any time with no further access to the Mail Assure portal. Never lose access due to an expired link again.
Admin & Per-User Export Support
Mail Assure supports two export paths: admin-level exports covering all users and per-user exports from the Spam Quarantine portal. The viewer handles EML ZIPs from both paths. Admin exports are displayed with the per-user directory structure intact. Per-user exports open directly to the user's message list.
Save Individual Messages as EML
Save any single message from the viewer directly to disk as an EML file for quick extraction or forwarding. Right-click any message and choose Save as EML. Individual EML files open directly in Outlook, Thunderbird or any email client. For bulk format conversion to PST, MBOX or PDF, use Univik Mail Assure Converter.

Use Cases
Common scenarios where the free viewer is the right tool before reaching for the converter.
Investigating Spam Filter Decisions
A message was blocked or quarantined unexpectedly. Download the Mail Assure EML export, open in the viewer and read the X-Recommended-Action and spam score headers to understand exactly why the filter acted as it did — without logging back into the Mail Assure portal.
Preserving Archives Before Links Expire
Mail Assure download links expire in 7–30 days. Download your EML ZIP immediately and open it in the viewer to confirm it loaded correctly before the link dies. The viewer then gives you permanent offline access to the archive without needing the portal again.
eDiscovery & HR Investigations
Legal or HR teams reviewing archived correspondence from Mail Assure. Browse the inbound and outbound archive for a specific employee, search by sender or date, read messages and save individual EML files as evidence. No Mail Assure portal login required during review.
IT Admins Verifying Archive Completeness
Before migrating away from Mail Assure, download the EML ZIP for each user and open in the viewer to verify the archive is complete and readable. Check that inbound and outbound counts match your expectations before triggering a full format conversion.
Users Accessing Their Own Archives
End users who exported their own archive from the Mail Assure Spam Quarantine portal can use the viewer to read their archived messages locally. No need to stay connected to the portal or wait for IT to grant access.
Compliance & GDPR Access Requests
Responding to a GDPR data subject access request covering Mail Assure-archived emails. Download the user's EML ZIP, open in the viewer to identify the relevant messages, then save those individual EML files for inclusion in the GDPR response package.
Supported Formats
The viewer handles all Mail Assure archive export formats. No manual preparation needed before loading.
Mail Assure EML ZIP
Standard export from the Mail Assure admin panel. One ZIP per domain or date range, with EML files inside. Inbound and outbound shown as separate folders.
Per-User EML ZIP
Export from the Mail Assure Spam Quarantine portal (per-user access). Same EML ZIP format. Opens with the user's message list directly in the viewer.
Individual EML Files
Open any standalone EML file directly. Drag and drop one or multiple EML files onto the viewer. Full header and body display, same as from ZIP.
RFC 5322 Compliant EML
Any RFC 5322-compliant EML file opens in the viewer, not just Mail Assure exports. Useful when comparing Mail Assure archived versions with originals.
Customer Reviews
Verified reviews from IT administrators and MSPs who use Univik Mail Assure Viewer.
A client panicked because their Mail Assure download link was about to expire and they hadn't checked the archive yet. Installed this in five minutes, opened the ZIP, confirmed the three months of email were all there and read them the X-headers to explain the spam decisions. Saved the day.
Richard W.
MSP Technical Lead, Birmingham
Used it to browse an employee's Mail Assure inbound and outbound archive during an HR investigation. The search by sender found all the relevant threads in seconds. The header inspector showed the full routing chain for a suspicious external message. Exactly what we needed and completely offline.
Karen N.
IT Manager, Professional Services Firm
Before converting our Mail Assure archives to PST we used this to verify all 80 users' ZIP files loaded correctly and the inbound/outbound counts matched our records. Found two corrupted ZIPs that needed re-exporting before running the converter. The pre-check alone saved hours of troubleshooting.

Common questions about Univik Mail Assure Viewer.
Yes, completely free. Univik Mail Assure Viewer is free for both personal and commercial use. There are no trial limitations, no message count limits, no registration required and no hidden costs. You can open as many Mail Assure ZIP archives and read as many messages as you need. The viewer is a read-only tool — opening and browsing archives is always free.
No. Once you have downloaded the EML ZIP export from the Mail Assure admin panel or per-user Spam Quarantine portal, the viewer works completely offline on any Windows PC. No Mail Assure client, N-able software, internet connection or portal login is required. The viewer reads the EML files inside the ZIP directly.
The viewer opens: (1) Mail Assure EML ZIP archives exported from the admin panel (both inbound and outbound); (2) per-user EML ZIP archives exported from the Mail Assure Spam Quarantine portal; (3) individual EML files — drag and drop one or multiple EML files directly onto the viewer. All three formats display the full message body, attachments and RFC 5322 headers including all Mail Assure X-headers.
Yes — this is one of the viewer's key capabilities. Click the Headers tab in the message preview panel to see the full RFC 5322 header block. All Mail Assure-specific headers are displayed: X-SPAMFILTER-UIDL (Mail Assure message ID), X-Recommended-Action (deliver, quarantine, reject), numeric spam score fields, SPF pass/fail, DKIM signature status, DMARC result and the full Received header chain showing every routing hop. The Copy All Headers button copies the entire header block to the clipboard.
Admin export: Log into the Mail Assure admin panel, go to Incoming or Outgoing Log, filter by user, domain or date range, select the messages and click Export to EML. A download link is emailed or shown on screen. Download the ZIP promptly — links expire in 7–30 days depending on your admin's configuration.
Per-user export: Log into the Mail Assure Spam Quarantine portal, browse your archive, select messages and click Export. Download the resulting ZIP. See the full guide at How to Export from Mail Assure.
Yes, this is by design. Mail Assure stores inbound and outbound email in separate log databases and exports them as separate archives (or as separate top-level folders within a combined ZIP). The viewer preserves this split, showing inbound and outbound as distinct folders in the navigation panel. This reflects the actual Mail Assure architecture and makes it easy to search within a single direction without cross-contamination from the other.
Yes. Right-click any message in the message list and select Save as EML to extract it as a standalone EML file to any folder on your machine. EML files open directly in Outlook, Thunderbird or any RFC 5322-compliant email client. You can also use the Print to PDF option in the toolbar to save the rendered message as a PDF for reference or sharing.
The viewer is a free, read-only tool for browsing and reading Mail Assure EML ZIP archives. It lets you open archives, search messages, preview email body and headers, and save individual messages as EML files. It does not perform bulk format conversion.
The Mail Assure Converter is a paid tool ($29 personal, $99 business) that converts entire Mail Assure EML ZIP archives to PST, MBOX, MSG, PDF, HTML and 10+ other formats for Outlook import, Google Workspace migration, eDiscovery productions and long-term compliance archiving. Use the viewer first to inspect your archive; use the converter when you need bulk output in a different format.
Minimal requirements:
No Mail Assure client, N-able software, Outlook or internet connection required.
Yes. Click any message and open the Attachments tab to see all attached files listed with name, type and size. Common attachment types preview inline: PDF pages render in the built-in viewer, images (JPG, PNG, GIF) display directly, and plain-text files (TXT, CSV, XML) are shown as readable text. Office documents (DOCX, XLSX) and other types are listed but require saving to disk and opening in the appropriate application.
