One small note, one of my clients was recommended by his Law Firm NOT! and repeat NOT to keep emails, and they have instituted a policy that all sent and received Emails must be destroyed every 3 months. Appararently, if someone decides to lauch a suit against you, they can use the fact that you store old email that is relevant to thier suit to ask for a copy of all of your backups, logs et al, which might give them access to other information that they would normally not be privvy to. Of course, most do preserve Email to protect themselves when employees give away priveleged information, or to use as evidence to protect themselves against false dismissal suits, or to verify correspondence, where a client might say 'You promised me this....' etc.. One thing they might like to do, is implement a combination of both, where Emails older than 3 months get burned to a media for long term storage, and then all traces removed from the servers.
