Archiving my work email by forwarding to a personal email literally won me a decision against a former employer. When they can cut off your credentials in anticipation of firing you and they think it means you don't have access to those emails anymore, it's really satisfying to show up at the next hearing with clear proof that they've come down with a terminal case of foot-mouth syndrome.

>"Fortunately it doesn't stop me from archiving locally. I've got emails from 2006 on my desktop machine."

That's a rather poorly implemented policy by and future landmine for your IT department.

I would guess they use MS Exchange internally, and that is the issue.
