Technology in Architectural Practice

If you havn't investigated Outlook .PST files you may wish to do so. You can create PST files and open then in Outlook. You can then easily and drag and drop all emails into them (in Outlook) once received or sent. It is a totallly searchable data base. The emails carry the date already. Hopefully you are placing a project number on them and some good verbal description in the subject line prior to sending.

I would be careful using PST files. Depending on what version you have they can become unstable after growing larger then 2 or 20GB. I just went through a demonstration of Office 365 and it could be a good fit for small/medium size offices where resources are limited, and they let you do archiving (for a small fee) which is great tool for the E-Discovery world that we are in today.

Also regarding the other post of saving emails, if you save them, then make sure you delete them in your email program or your IT Dept. will be backing up duplicate data
