I think it depends on corporate culture. I have >8,000 unread emails in my corporate gmail, and it only has a 2 year retention policy.

Some companies overcommunicate, and email can essentially be unusable due to noise. it can be a huge issue if there are multiple modes of communication.

I get communication through email, chats, groups, google doc comments, smart sheets, 3 quality systems, and workday.

As a result, it can take a while for me to circle back to my email inbox and give the messages thoughtful consideration.
