Allen, Doug. E-Mail Storage: Your Next Mission-Critical Application. Network Magazine. March 3, 2004.

Interesting article on e-mail storage from the perpectives of (i) regulatory compliance and (ii) overal value to business. There's also an interesting "E-mail Retention Timeline" in the left sidebar. Quotes from the article: - "Don't think that because you put something somewhere on day one, your job is done. E-mail, like all relevant data, has a life of its own." (Duplessie, ESG) - "Internally, business and IT groups must make certain that a system is in place to ensure that privacy policies are followed and personally identifiable information is protected" (Matt Cain, Meta Oct. 2002 Research Note).
