How does email expiration work at Willamette?
At Willamette, we do not expire any personal email with the exception of that in the folder called ‘Trash’. The ‘Trash’ folder is commonly used by email clients to temporarily store email that has already been deleted by its recipient. Email clients can be set to automatically purge the ‘Trash’ folder, but if they are not, this folder can get very large over time. In order to keep from storing all of this deleted email indefinitely, we expire all messages older than 14 days that are in the ‘Trash’ folder.
