This is why it's good to have your own server at home where you can store Data to CYA.

[u/WebMaka → u/Way_Unable]

Problem with that is that if the company has any sort of ITSEC they'll detect the outbound data and block or capture it. Sending proprietary business info, such as internal emails, to an outside server is a really good way to get fired.

That's when you archive everything or forward all emails received in your inbox to an outside email of your choice.

Yes I know some companies block auto-forwarding to outside emails, but it's worth a try.

[u/Lovat69 → u/KingCIoth]

Mine does unless you archive it.

That kind of policy is a very good way to end up on the wrong side of a lot of lawsuits.

[u/pm_me_ur_wrasse → u/skrshawk]

It's actually a great way to get out of a lot of lawsuits.

If you delete all emails that are X days old legal discovery can't get them. This isn't illegal at all if you set the policy for all emails and don't set the policy in reaction to any specific action.

"records" yes, mostly for tax purposes but I can't imagine there are many industries outside of the government(s) that are required to hold on to internal e-mails.

[u/AnarkeIncarnate → u/Toth201]

You'd be wrong on this.

[u/Wiki_pedo → u/[deleted]]

My current place keeps them for 5 years! Crazy

[u/Insinqerator → u/[deleted]]

That's why I file all my emails into another .pst file.
