Why each option
When designing an email retention policy, the primary consideration must be compliance with legal and regulatory obligations.
Local laws and industry regulations dictate mandatory retention periods and data handling requirements, which legally supersede internal policies, project guidelines, or technical capacity when defining an email retention policy.
Company policies are important but must align with external legal and regulatory requirements, which are a foundational consideration.
Project guidelines from stakeholders are internal and secondary to legal and regulatory compliance.
Mail server and backup capacity are technical constraints that must be considered after establishing legal and business retention requirements.
