In this introduction to email management, you will learn how to determine when an email is a record,  how to identify which emails you should keep, and the principles of inbox management. We will also discuss the basics of email preservation, metadata considerations, and next steps for developing an email management policy. Email is a record type as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between paper and digitized, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s “transitory” and the summit of his “permanent.” Welcome to Email Management Basics!
