Email system of record

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act., I hereby request the following records:

Records sufficient to show the method or methods used by the City of Evanston to store and search government email records. This could include, but should not be limited to: screenshots, user manuals, documentation, emails, and/or database schemas. Please include at least one example of a search text (including Boolean operators, if supported) of this email system.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

William Pierce

Hello,

I'm writing to follow up with request #18-539 regarding "Records sufficient to show the method or methods used by the City of Evanston to store and search government email records. This could include, but should not be limited to: screenshots, user manuals, documentation, emails, and/or database schemas. Please include at least one example of a search text (including Boolean operators, if supported) of this email system."

I see maybe my request was confusing. Does the City use Google Email? Microsoft? Some other system?

Can you please provide a screenshot of the interface used to search email records?

Best,
William Pierce
