I also work in the financial sector, and am addressing this same problem right now. There is no industry wide standard as far as I know, and I also would like to see one. At the moment, I'm facing the possibility of retaining emails for as long as seven years. The best I can say is that "it depends" (in the words of Mark Rasch www.solutionary.com), and what it mainly depends on is your security policy. If that says that you keep emails for three years, then you keep them for three years, and then eliminate them.

Is there a site that dicuss' what companies are doing regarding email and document retention in a corporate environment, I couldn't find anything on Google. I don't think think there is such a thing but thought I'd ask. My impression is it's a policy put into place by corporate management, and there is no industry wide standard, baring some government regulations of course. I work in the financial industry, if that matters.
Thanks.
