History
Launched in March 1995 as ChronoFAX, the company was a distributor of computer-based fax software. ChronoFAX became Tobit Software North America as result of a partnership with a German company called Tobit that produced fax software for the

GroupWise markets. When the three-and-a-half-year partnership with Tobit ended, the company again renamed itself, as Messaging Architects.
Messaging Architects initially provided add-ons for the Novell GroupWise messaging platform. Now the company offers an integrated email management platform called Netmail. Netmail consolidates the company's portfolio of email software and includes: Netmail Secure (formerly GWGuardian and M+Guardian), Netmail Archive (formerly M+Archive), Netmail Search, Netmail Migrate (formerly Migrator), and Netmail Store (formerly M+SecureStore). The company also provides email platform migration services. Messaging Architects has Professional Services Team with full Novell and Microsoft Exchange certification.
