For an IT department the expectation is that people will read your email. I honestly don't think what you describe is rare at all, based on stories I've heard.

And if you work for the gov't your email can often be requested by citizens via FOIA.
- rjd 15y agoI was working for a government agency in New Zealand when they introduced a law that meant every email became a government communication and you couldn't delete anything. I usually operate on an empty inbox principal, it was a total nightmare for me. I folded that contract as soon as my term was up.
- X-Istence 15y agoMoving it to another folder wouldn't have sufficed?
- rjd 15y agoYep, but when you get hundreds of emails a day, you end up folders inside folders. Not being able to trim excess is a total pain. Not to mention the pain of having limited mailbox sizes, so you have to ring the infrastructure vendor to archive your mail. And then put in requests to get older archives so you can search for stuff.
