Greetings, Exchange 2010 SP2 U3 We have a 270 day inbox retention policy/tag.
This clearly shows at the bottom of each opened email. Users often want to save emails beyond the retention date. There are several "save as" options formats which I know will work. What I am wondering is - if I have the user save as email.msg to the H: drive or wherever, does that remove the saved message on the H: drive from retention limit policy/tag so it will not be deleted? I experimented and saved email.msg to H: drive, opened it and it does not show the retention limit at the bottom like when opened in the inbox. My thought is since it is no longer "sitting in the inbox" the retention will no longer apply even though it is *.msg. This would be much simpler to explain to users - rather than discussing the other formats. Hoping for some input on this. Thanks for your help. Dana
