Messages older than six weeks are removed from personal mail boxes and archived. Users receive an electronic mail message identifying the first and last message of a batch of messages removed and archived from their mailbox. They are given instructions on how these messages can be restored using a simple WWW-based interface. A WWW-based procedure allows users to recover archived messages. The recovery process effectively reverses the removal process - ie.
Users are only able to restore all of the messages archived on a particular date, ie.
Messages recovered in this way are not archived again from the mailbox until six weeks after the date of recovery. The page has been authorised by the Director, IT Services as relevant officer.
