    Warranty… Some are 15-20 years, but you need proof of purchase docs, which are often emailed data.

      Why not having an archive of exclusively warranties? Emails can be downloaded, indexed and compressed. I agree on keeping archives of old stuff. But emails used as cloud drives are a huge problem for IT and security reasons. A legal folder is better and facilitates backup, encryption and much more accessibility.

        So you don’t really want to archive in the technical sense, you want it offline for security, which is valid but extremely inconvenient for regular end users.
