    Not true.

    It’s much easier to keep old data in active storage where it can be classified, searched, and have retention/deletion policies applied. Moving it elsewhere makes it more likely you’ll just hang onto it forever while not using it at all.

        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.
