Thanks to all who have responded. This has all been very helpful so far.
Just an FYI, an added complication for us is that we do not have a records retention schedule or policy in place yet, although we are working on both at the moment. IT, however, does not intend to wait for us to catch up before they roll out their "solution."
Comments? Advice?
Cheers

Subject: Re: Email archiving retention question
I recently initiated an email archiving/e-discovery project with IS. We
reviewed 4 or 5 vendors products. When we narrowed our list down to two
vendors they demonstrated their products. Both had a feature whereby you
could set retention periods based on user profiles or folders. While
administratively challenging we were going to set up the following
process:
1. The emails would be archived after 60 days.
2. Employees would identify emails as either business records or
non-records
3. Employees would move the business records to folders with specific
retention series
4. After 90 days any email not moved to a records retention folder would
be deleted.
5. The folders would automatically process the emails based on the
folders retention period.
6. The e-discovery tool would allow us to search and put individual
emails on hold, thus stopping us from inadvertently destroying records.
Both vendors stated their system could do it this way.
The project is currently on hold.
