Restricting the deletion of emails

[Amin Kardan]

Hello,

Is there a way to restrict the deletion of emails through a COS, or any other method? If so, are they permanent, or can you set a time line as to when a user can delete their emails? ex: User can delete emails after 1 year.

What do you think is going to happen by posting this sort of request in the forums? It's not a currently a feature and I'd guess it's not likely to be a feature, however, if you think it's worth having then file an RFE in bugzilla with a justification of why it's needed and what you hope to achieve with it. I'd suggest you look at some other solutions if deleting mail is a problem for your users.

Then you should implement an archiving solution that keeps copies of all you mail, the 'feature' mentioned in this thread is not the answer to the problem - a complete backup and/or archiving solution is what you need.
