As our agency and other companies/agencies/corporations are now finding, the email system is subject to e-discovery and archiving/retention/psts are now subject to greater corporate and especially legal scrutiny as many nuggets found in email can win or lose a lawsuit.

It is a very large issue than can, and has, cost many corporations millions of dollars, not just as a settlement, but as a result of having to search and recover mail items saved to various locations without cause.

After furious head scratching, Francine Otterson asked:

| One option is to setup a rule to have a copy of all incoming email
| put into a Personal Folder.
|
| I think another larger issue should be addressed. Why would your
| company not want the maibox to retain their data. It allows the data
| to be accessible and backed-up if there were ever an issue, once
| moved to a Personal Folder this may not be the case.
|
| I would suggest, that you speak to you IT Department manager to
| discuss their reasoning behind this policy/procedure.
|
| Kind Regards
