      I don’t disagree that you should set up retention policies to delete old email, I disagree that you should remove old emails from primary service/storage.

      I actually did need a 15 year old email a few months ago. I don’t recall what I needed, but I then set up a retention policy to delete old stuff.

        Why not having an archive of exclusively warranties? Emails can be downloaded, indexed and compressed. I agree on keeping archives of old stuff. But emails used as cloud drives are a huge problem for IT and security reasons. A legal is better and facilitates backup, encryption and much more accessibility.
