Moreover, it is not unheard of during legal discovery for email to be made subject to search (Our lawyers are constantly tut-tuting about all the email that is saved). So to say it is not used for long-term storage is simply incorrect.
Not surprising that your lawyers are worried about extensive mail archives. Imagine the juicy things that must lie in gigabytes of archived e-mail messages! (Or the messages which can be twisted by skilled lawyers into seeming to be anticompetitive, price-fixing, conspiratorial, etc.)
