Abstract
A method and system are provided for use by an enterprise in which personal messages are processed differently than messages that are intended to constitute official enterprise correspondence (“enterprise messages”). An electronic communication including a message, a recipient identifier identifying at least one recipient of the message, and an status indicator indicating whether the message is a personal message or an enterprise message is received. The message is made available to the at least one recipient if the status indicator indicates that the message is a personal message. If the status indicator indicates that the message is an enterprise message, the message is stored in a searchable database and may also be made available to the at least one recipient.
