i need some research done on why a United States Non-Profit organization - 501(c)3 under the IRS tax codes - SHOULD archive all of the corporate e-mail correspondence. It might be because of "best practices" or "e-discovery requirements", etc. I am trying to institute a policy that will require e-mail archiving and I need some back-up articles, documentation, etc. Please don't quote SOX regulations, as these do not apply to 501(c)3 organizations.
