Bit like car insurance.....you never need it until a crisis happens.

We will have an adequate system soon. The Powers that Be decided it could wait a couple of months, maybe now they will change their minds.
And, it's a matter of training employees (a museum is not filled with tech savvy folks). One user had over 20K e-mails in their in-box. Our poor IT guy is pulling his hair out, explaining the deleted folder is not the place to file e-mails you want to keep.
I had this happen 5 years ago at another company, but let myself grow complacent, and didn't back up my contacts. Luckily, it's a slow time, the Boss is heading out of town and I will be re-entering contact information. I will be backing up weekly from now on.

I have given various tips to co-workers and colleagues on general house-keeping including filing of emails and the importance of detaching documents received via email.
I find it so frustrating that this is not explained or taught to staff in the workplace. It's only when they get a message saying, your mailbox is over its limit, that they phone IT to complain - ahhh!!

The staff has been warned about the need to clean up the e-mail. There are instructions on the intra-office site, hard copy instructions, and the IT guy has walked at least 3 people in my department through archiving.
