Another good trick?  TAKE ACTION on the messages you send/receive directly!

Ask yourself if it meets the organizational definition of a record.

No? discard it or place it in a temporary folder with rules set to delete
after x days

Yes? Move it into a folder that has a retention period consistent with the
content/value of the message

Most applications allow you to search all folders for a word/phrase/sender
so you'll still be able to easily find your messages.  But if you leave them
in a haystack, assigning retention requires you to first locate the needles.

Wouldn't this be preferential? http://goo.gl/f8M0V  I know Ray C would think
so =)
