The most funny joke ever: Records Retention Policy - Clock is ticking

Time is running out to delete emails older than 180 days/6 months – due March 2nd

**** has adopted a new Records Retention Policy. This policy involves the specifics surrounding the retention of various electronic and paper records including but not limited to emails, instant messaging and voicemails.

March 2nd 2009 is the effective date of the policy and is the date that all emails older than 180 days must be permanently destroyed. This means all applicable emails should be moved to your email’s “Deleted Items” folder and the folder emptied before March 2nd 2009.

You may
Save important emails in SharePoint sites and CRM products
Save attachments on your network drive space or local hard drive (less desirable)

You may not
Save emails to .pst files online or offline
Save emails in their native format online or offline
Print and save emails

The most funny part is: It is not a joke, it is a serious email from the management. Let's wait and see what will happen on March 2nd.
