  I don’t disagree that you should set up retention policies to delete old email, I disagree that you should remove old emails from primary service/storage.

  I actually did need a 15 year old email a few months ago. I don’t recall what I needed, but I then set up a retention policy to delete old stuff.

  Warranty… Some are 15-20 years, but you need proof of purchase docs, which are often emailed data.

    Why not having an archive of exclusively warranties? Emails can be downloaded, indexed and compressed.

      So you don’t really want to archive in the technical sense, you want it offline for security, which is valid but extremely inconvenient for regular end users.
