Hi

I'd appreciate any thoughts that anyone can offer on an issue that's just 
been raised with me.  Our Head of IT has told me that currently, we 
archive all emails and don't have a policy for destroying them.  Clearly, 
we need to change this, but I'm struggling slightly to balance the need to 
comply with the DPA retention principle with our organisational capacity.

The research I've done seems to state that we need to only archive emails 
selectively on the basis of their business value.  But our Head of IT says 
that we don't have the capacity to select which emails to archive (we're a 
charity and don't have many IT staff).

Any thoughts or descriptions of how others handle this would be really 
helpful.

Thanks very much

Carolyn
