Now that I couldn't say. Depending on the site, it could be any number of reasons good or bad.

I think it is just how long they keep your old e-mails. Sometimes it is nice to see when you started talking to someone, if you don't remember exactly. I wanted to see when I first saw my sub and forgot when I first went to meet her, so I looked back at my old e-mails. I couldn't remember if it was just before Halloween or right after. I don't think your e-mails being stored for awhile is bad.

Retention is what you should be able to do after potty training....at least until you get old.

Rentention to maintain or hold something for a period of time.
Often a pre agreed upon period

Retention is something my body does with water during certain times of the month and after I eat a lot of sunflower seeds



wandersalone -> RE: what does retention mean (3/14/2007 2:08:20 AM)

Could it be that the site simply stores the emails for 6 months, nothing sinister aimed personally at you or your master.  I think CM keeps emails for 3 months and then deletes them - it just means that you can go back and reread them for a while before they get deleted.
