MXSave review
A focused continuity service for keeping business email available during outages.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
MXSave is a cloud-based email disaster-recovery service for organizations that need continued access to business email when a primary mail server goes offline. It supports Microsoft Exchange Server, Office 365, and hosted or on-premise email servers, with deployment handled through DNS configuration rather than installed hardware or software. During an outage, users can access, send, and receive messages through webmail or standard email clients using POP3, IMAP, and SMTP. That makes it particularly suited to small, mid-market, and enterprise organizations prioritizing mail continuity over broad, long-term mailbox recovery.
The published plan is Enterprise Email Disaster Recovery at $49 per month, billed monthly. It covers one domain and includes 25 users, unlimited messages, unlimited storage, email continuity, a 30-day rolling archive, and backup MX. MXSave continuously spools incoming email for up to 21 days, then automatically delivers messages to the primary server after it returns online. Anti-spam and anti-virus filtering, delivery and spool-status reporting, and automatic Microsoft Active Directory LDAP synchronization add operational coverage. There is no separate tier structure to compare, so the main buying decision is whether this continuity-focused scope matches the organization’s needs.
Its strongest fit is outage preparedness: users retain access through webmail or standard protocols, while messages continue to queue and return to the primary environment automatically. Integrations include Microsoft Active Directory via LDAP, Microsoft Exchange Server, Outlook, POP3, IMAP, and SMTP. Compliance listings include ISO 27001, HIPAA, SOC 2, and PCI DSS. MXSave is less suitable for organizations seeking extensive historical retention or a conventional mailbox-backup platform with broader long-term recovery capabilities. Office 365 users should also evaluate the documented hosted-provider delivery limitations before choosing it.
