Apart from that, the general rules for long-term email storage apply. Always make sure that you use good back-up procedures and that you store different back-ups of your files in different (geographical) locations. Use checksums to safeguard the integrity of your files and check the files periodically, and keep a close eye on developments in file formats. This is particularly important for attachments because of the wide variety of file formats available. (See Storing your digital archive).
