RE: After all, Microsoft Legal didn't even have the good sense pre-litigation to implement a corporate policy that disposed of old email.

It was my understanding that maintaining an email archive was a requirement from the last time they were in court.

I'd expect the emails were deleted from the personal mailboxes - some of these people deal with hundreds a messages a day. While execs don't necessarily have the same rules, MSFT and most companies enforce maximum mailbox size of x MB. I hit my company's 50MB limit about once a month and have to go clean stuff out.

I'd bet the emails at the trial were extracted from a corporate archive they have been forced to maintain.
