Imagine you received 100+ emails a day... (Score 1)

and that dealing with email can only be a small part of your job, if you want to do your job well. How can you spend the additional time required to make the decision whether to save each new email message? Forget the legality, how the heck could you get any work done? And what psychic powers would be made available so that you would know, in advance, which emails were "important"? I mean, if I had the power to know in advance exactly which communication was going to someday be important, and which was not, then I think I might be able to finagle myself a job where I didn't need to worry about email retention policies.
