The amount of interns/students commenting “its fine/skill issue”, shows the demographic of lemmy and how comfortable people are giving stupid opinions about problems they don’t have, but are apparently experts on.
To all of you: having the email both in inbox and calendar gives another sorting of the information, which is always a good thing. Some people might prefer removing the emails to “tidy up” inbox, but that shouldn’t make it the only option (because those people, other than OCD, probably don’t have more than 10 emails / day, with > 50 they would have give up on tidy)
I presume longer retention policies apply to specific data rather than arbitrary communications. The place I worked with a 90 day deletion was maniacal about adhering to the letter of the law and they didn’t seem broadly concerned about any data that was solely in email.
Well until they went to sue someone else, then they’d grab and freeze all email boxes that ever communicated with the defendant and instruct all parties to immediately forward any email from that party to legal and ignore it.
Likely the penalty for not retaining the data is less severe than any penalty for getting caught with evidence of illegal actions, so it’s the default action to reduce risk when you’re doing illegal shit.
Don’t forget how Outlook is often “cloud” now with local message backing sometimes failing to load a message until you choose another a few times, or how Teams overlaps Outlook overlaps Teams for functionality in a terrible useless way.
Or how selecting a message thread often doesn’t show the most recent or any of the unread messages, while clicking the unread message directly also sometimes doesn’t load it.
The most frustrating for me is Outlook’s search functionality. I sent out purchase order emails with the PO# in the email. If I search for a number looking for my PO, I want THAT number, not a completely different number. Don’t give me the wrong number as a FIRST FUCKING RESULT!

It’s not the only option, I have it disabled so they stay in my inbox once accepted/declined.
You work somewhere where the IT policy allows you to change the setting. Lucky
Damn, they lock down your Outlook settings? I don’t think I’ve ever worked anywhere that did that.
My company locks it down and deletes email older than 3 months but default unless you request a special group asking for longer storage.
Ah yes, the “it’s not evidence tampering if we just delete the stuff as a matter of course” policy.
Which makes no sense to me because I could swear there’s a legal retention policy that supercedes this.

if the IT policy disallows changing settings then the company wants you to fail

Microsoft business tools are an absolute joke.
