I am looking for a cloud or server based email solution to manage about 50 employees/email accounts. My biggest concern is an employee going rogue and deleting a bunch of emails that are on a shared account. It would also be nice that each employee is designated to the account(s) they need access to and there are logs of their replies so they can be held accountable when they don't put their name on something. It would be nice to disable deleting emails but if this can't be done then at least every email that goes in and out should be logged.

I played around with google apps for business for the last few hours and although complicated it seems to have the log that I need so that all emails are retained. However, it is $10/month per user and $500/mo seems like a lot for something like this. I have my own virtual server and am also open to an affordable cloud based service.

Perhaps there is even something server side that I can modify some files in order to forward a copy of all incoming and outgoing emails to a special log account. I actually set this up in the past but it was not the most efficient even though it was free as if someone did go rogue I would be the only one technically able to access to backups and wouldn't be able to restore them easily.
