E-Discovery Considerations for Better Email Management Considering Email Retention and
Email Overload
In response to industry concerns, Stanley M. Gibson, Partner at Jeffer Mangels Butler &
Mitchell LLP, published a
corporate counsel guide to identify the most important criteria to control the cost of
e-discovery by minimizing the
volume of electronic records — the vast majority of which are e-mails — that are kept by the
company. There are various
ways to reduce the volume of e-mail, including imposing mailbox size restrictions and
requiring mandatory deletion
periods. But there are also novel, technological approaches to eliminating the
over-retention of e-mail that present a
significant advantage over size restrictions or deletion policies. It concludes that RPost,
with its Registered Email™
service is a comprehensive solution that meets all of the noted criteria.
