Storing E-mails...how long?

[Gilligan]

What does it cost you to keep those emails?

What could it save you if you had one of those emails when you needed it one day?

Do the math.

I save the emails in the clients art folder with the specific job. That way if there are any changes or discrepancies you have a hard copy.

Ditto, I have to look up old emails fairly frequently, say 7 - 10 years... they some times have attachments that didn't get to the archives, and the like.

I guess I can honestly say that I've never had to dig back through emails more than a year, if that. We've been backing artwork up (reliably) for the past 10 years, before that on flash drives that we have dups of in a filing cabinet.

Yep, same here. No reason to ever delete and they're all easily searchable. Super easy way to keep original client attachments in one place.

To illustrate our point of the value of keeping old emails:
I just bought new Norton Security Software (that can be a subject of its own).
$10 off with Fry's Promo Code.
$30 rebate
$20 upgrade rebate - The proof of ownership required was the thank you email from two years ago!
