"Some folks seem to want to keep every email they've ever received, for ever, just in case."

I'm sure many don't have a choice. European law demands that things such as e-mails are kept within companies for at least 2 years. Also known as the data retention directive, see here.

In Holland this has even been raised to 3 years. With special thanks to Europe of course.
