A messaging server ( 112 ) provides a message store ( 116 ) for storing messages in a relational manner. A set of related messages, such as an email string between two or more people, is represented as a message container ( 200 ) having relational references to one or more submessages ( 210, 212, 214 ). The messaging server ( 112 ) processes non-relational messages sent by the server by inserting ( 516 ) tags that uniquely identify components within the message. The messaging server ( 112 ) also processes tagged or untagged non-relational messages received by the server to create ( 616, 618 ) relational counterparts in the message store ( 116 ). Relational searches can be executed on the messages in the message store ( 116 ) to perform audits or forensic analyses of the messages.
