e-mails, not addresses, although I also purge these now and again as auto fill has caused me some embarrassment in the past sending to people by accident.

not when done as and when, easy enough going through old mails (time permitting) and setting rules

[jameswilson]

its not rule based for us. Just drag the email into the filing cab. If you dont have a db that can do that then just set up folders based on contract number and save it there. Easy to backup too
