E-mail Content as
Records
New
Office SharePoint Server 2007 records management features include
the ability for providing consistent, policy-based solutions for
managing e-mail content across Microsoft Office Outlook® 2007,
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, and Office SharePoint Server 2007.
This is accomplished through two new features:
• Managed mail folders
• Mail management policies
Managed Mail Folders
New
Working in conjunction with Exchange Server 2007, managed mail
folders help records managers and compliance officers manage the
e-mail in individual mailboxes more effectively by defining a set of
standard folders, each with an explicit business purpose, in which
individual employees can file their e-mail.
These folders can be deployed to individual information workers
based on their roles within the organization, so people who fill
equivalent roles across a company can have similar top-level filing
structures in their mailboxes.
Mail Management
Policies
New
Behind each managed mail folder is a set of rules and mail
management policies, in addition to a written policy statement.
Policies can be applied to any e-mail folder—such as Inbox, Drafts,
and Sent Items—and a default policy can be applied to other folders
that are not explicitly named.
Policy statements appear at the top of each folder view in Office
Outlook 2007 and Microsoft Outlook Web Access. These statements
help records managers, compliance officers, and IT to communicate
the policies associated with folders in a way that makes sense to
employees and that no one can claim they never saw.
