I don't know what kind of industry you work for or what your laws and regulations are in your country. However, in the United States we are required by federal law to keep all documents and financial information for at least 7 years. Most companies keep all records longer. New GDPR compliance laws will consist of similar regulations however, they may require records to be kept forever that include peoples personal data. These kinds of regulations wouldn't involve someone who works as a IT purchasing agent. However, it's good for you to learn this because it will make you a better IT purchasing agent in the future. Every industry is different and many companies archive emails that consist of peoples personal data as well as attachments consisting of personal data. This is especially true in the medical industry. GDPR compliance laws currently in effect will require personal information stored in any format to comply with federal laws. That's what Data443's entire business model consists of, tools to make it easier to quickly access personal data securely.
As for free ways to Archive email, well that's just ridiculous. No smart IT executive would ever allow this as an option for obvious reasons.
