>Second item - length of time to keep the archived emails: 7 years. Is this
>too long?
This is actually a MIS-interpretation of the law. At least our counsel and
several other strong firms in the area have told us, you do NOT have to
keep 7 years worth of email activity. You simply need to have in place a
method by which you CAN keep email during a discovery process should get
involved in one.
If you have consulted your school counsel and they believe 7 years is
necessary, then so be it. But, if you haven't, don't get caught up in all
of the panic about keeping that much email.
