e - mail / voice mail retention policy change notice
we have just received notice of a change to the e - mail and voice mail
retention policy . the change will go into effect friday , december 15 , 2000 .
the greatest impact will be to your " sent mail , " which will be retained only
30 days as compared to the current 365 days .
as a reminder , you should not use the email system to store important
documents .
they should be saved to your network directory which is regularly backed up .
however , for ' sent ' messages you want to keep longer than 30 days in the
email system , you should move the messages from the sent mail to a specific
folder where the messages can be kept 365 days .
the scope of the e - mail retention policy includes all forms of electronic
mail , for example , lotus notes mail , internet e - mail , outlook e - mail , and
voice mail .
enron supports a work environment in which information is freely exchanged
and encourages employees , contractors , and agents working on behalf of enron
