One easy way to do this is to simply image your usualy workstation. The
one where you work every day, and analyse that.
For example, if you know you've sent mail to Mr. X, then simply shutdown
your machine, image your drive, analyse it in whatever you like, and then
off you go.
Every day you'll literally have a different image file to play with if you
like.
