/dev/null Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Especially the attachments on your SENT mail. Since you attached it you most likely have a copy on your hard drive. God forbid people actually delete those. You never know when you'll want to get a chuckle out of that 5MB video file you just forwarded to 10 coworkers
BuffaloBud Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 I use the Hyperlink function now when sending attachments internally.

JoeFerguson Posted April 15, 2010 Author Posted April 15, 2010 and this right here folks, is why your IT guy is always miserable and acts like they hate you. Ok, I'm the idiot. I just want to be taught to fish. You guys always have to be so smug.
DrDawkinstein Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Yes I can archive, but it is not the same since it's stored locally on my computer. I want the onus to be on someone else, like the IT DEPARTMENT!!! Store it on the server! Ok, I'm the idiot. I just want to be taught to fish. You guys always have to be so smug. doesnt sound like you want to be taught to fish in the first post
Booster4324 Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 I have no idea what my limit is (from a quick question to an IT guy, probably 2 gig). I, as others suggested, use archiving rules to ditch most stuff in 6 months. I routinely e-mail stuff with screen shots and such eating up a meg or so and those stay in the Sent folder for 6 months. However, I do save all conversations about work in separate folders (stripping out any attachments) going back 2 and a half years. You know why I don't have any memory issues? I don't use my work e-mail for personal use. If I talk to someone by e-mail it is on my yahoo account. Oh and I warn anyone that I correspond with that please keep any conversations as if we were in a public area. Why? Well since this thread has turned decidedly IT, the bastards are notorious snoops.
