Re: Deleting emails
Just the other week my new boss told me that she hates email and would prefer everyone to talk to each other. Well she would wouldn't she? All the more reason to follow up any conversations with thoso who must be obeyed with a "Thank you the recent chat. Can you just confirm my understanding that ..... " type email.
My advice: never delete email and always back it up. I have been able to help myself out of tricky situations ie prove what was actually said too many times by emails that others would have deleted long ago.
Just say No.
