Per request from the RECMGMT-L list, here is a list I maintain of all the email management vendors. A couple of key points:
1. This list includes many more than you'd expect because "email management" is more of an umbrella term that covers everything from email archiving to policy enforcement to litigation support and email security.
2. My inclusion of a vendor on this list is not a recommendation, nor is a solution not listed to be taken as a negative. The email management space continues to be in significant flux and it's hard to tell the players any week without a program.
3. Many of the traditional ECM players have also moved aggressively to develop or acquire EMM technologies - for example, IBM FileNet acquired Yaletown Technology Group and its EMM solution a couple of years ago. So if you already have an ECM or ERM solution in place, you may want to talk to your sales rep or integrator to determine whether you might either already own that capability or have ready access to it by dint of already owning the core technology.

Those of you who want more information on any of these, I encourage you to:
1. Visit the vendors' websites. Many of them have pretty good, not-too-sales-y white papers. I'll single out CA and Mimosa Systems here because both of them have good books on email archiving and EMM - Mimosa's in particular is not at all sales-y and a pretty entertaining read ("Email Archiving for Dummies").
2. Consider reviewing CMSWatch's excellent report on email management and archiving solutions. Full disclosure: I contributed a tiny bit to the report. I didn't and don't get paid anything for it however; and it is a pretty pricey report at c. $1500. There are other reports out there, but most of them are either significantly MORE expensive or significantly less valuable. http://www.cmswatch.com/.
3. Attend the AIIM Email Management course, specifically the Practitioner course or Practitioner Module 10, Technology. More disclosure: I developed and teach the course. But in that module we talk about the different types of technologies available for managing email more effectively including examples for each. Attendees also get a number of handouts including a list similar to this one of the major providers.
If anyone wants more information about any of this feel free to contact me off-list at (303) 574-0749 (direct) or jwilkins13@gmail.com.
Update 2/14/2009: Added Avalon Business Systems.

How about Open Text? http://www.opentext.com/2/global/sol-products/sol-pro-email.htm
Hi Doug,
I agree but I didn't list any of the "pure-play" ECM vendors. With almost no exceptions all of the majors have some email management story to tell.
Cheers,
jesse
what about Oracle's offering?
I don't generally accept anonymous comments. That said, as noted in my previous comment I didn't list any of the major ECM vendors. If Oracle has a separate EMM solution please email me at jwilkins13@gmail.com with details; if you mean something that is part of Oracle UCM or URM, that's covered in the previous comment.
Cheers,
jesse
and Webroot also offers Hosted Email (and Web) Security - www.webroot.com
Thanks for noticing our (CA) writings, but you left us off the list of the list of EMM vendors.
