It's you who decided to keep records, I suppose.
That's akin to suggesting because I have a warehouse of 1000 DVD players which they want to check, I have to pay them for their time to check it.
Yup, that's why you don't keep a warehouse of DVDs if that's the risk and you have no value to storing them

But there is value, the problem is where is this risk coming from.
You've still not identified how it is legal or even possible for a complete random to compel me to pay them to search them.

You might be compelled by a court to have an independent audit of your email records as a means to protecting your self from further prosecution or suit.
Keeping more email (or any at all) puts you into a place where you are then required to be able to provide those records upon demand.

What do you want identified? This is just how US law works.

They might not be able to compel you to pay them. but as Dustin said, you might be required to bring in an outsider to do an audit, so then YOU are paying them (the outside auditor) to do said audit. But if you have nothing to audit, there is nothing to pay. Or in this case, if you limited yourself to two years of back email, they would only be spending time going through the last two years, not the last 20+
