Groupwise: Email and Email Account Deletion Policy
Email Deletion Policy and Protection
We want to be good stewards of Cedarville's network resources. Therefore, faculty, staff and student email is retained in user GroupWise accounts for 18 months (540 days) and then it is permanently deleted to provide room for new email messages.
Emails deleted under this policy cannot be recovered. Also, emails stored in folders or in your GroupWise "Cabinet" are not exempt from the 540 day purge process.
If you wish to save an email beyond the 540 day period, you will need to archive it.
The following help pages explain the archive process in more detail:
