Dave, I have only the 1 email domain, as I am in a corporate envirnoment and not email hosting / provider, I currently do not have any formal policy on document destruction in regards to Email, I have a mix of POP and IMAP users, with the majority on POP at the moment. When a user leaves, any IMAP mailboxes are deleted.
