The deal also ensures the firm will have a record of all e-mails for a ten year period.

"Trying to anticipate the e-mail storage requirements for the next ten years, given the rate of growth in volume and size of e-mails over recent years, is a virtually impossible task," said Jon Gould, IT director at Charles Russell.
