This may be a noob question, however I am struggling right now to fully research this topic, and hopefully someone out there happens to know the answer. So here goes.
In our organisation we have implemented one rentention policy when EV was put in. Simply put no rentention policy decision was made by our business so the policy keeps everything forever.
We are now beginning to see the storage implications of pretending we have a bottomless pit for email archive data. It seems the business would now like to implement different rentention policies rather than pay out for extra storage.
The question I need answering is thus: We have one rentention policy, and when users archive messages they get one option as below. If we setup multiple rentention policies say one for 6 months, 12 months, 3 years, 7 years, and forever; is it then possible for the user to select the retention policy at the time of manually archiving messages? And for the default to be forever so if they neglect to select an option their email is never removed from the vault?
Thanks for any help,
Jeremy.
