email retention policy

Hi all,

What are your school policies regarding faculty email and the
archiving/ ownership of e-correspondence (e-mail, chat, blogs, etc.)
when a faculty member leaves? Seems to me it is the school's property,
as it needs it/them for, at minimum, simple history of correspondence,
but how do you *get* it unless you are employing your own email
servers? And if you do, do you force all staff to use it and forbid
school correspondence on gmail, yahoo and hotmail?

Mainly interested in hearing from shcools who don't have their own
email servers however, as that is our case and is likely to remain so.

Many thanks!

In peace,
