>Assuming copies aren't retained.
GMail management has flipflopped on precisely how long they retain
deleted emails for.
The only thing that is clear is that deletion of email from one's gmail
account occurs some time after it has been deleted from one's trash.
There is some anecdotal data that suggests that it is between two and
three years, but contradictory evidence suggests that it is 30 to sixty
days, with some data suggesting that it is under one week.
One factor that appears to affect gmail retention after deletion from
trash is how the email was originally retrieved. POP3 retrieval, with
delete on retrieval is deleted the fastest. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

What does the law say about email which the user (or the user's agent, such as
his POP3 client) "deletes" but for which there are still copies
available to the server's operator?
And, of course, to what extent is the govt. going to obey the law if the law
says "do not touch"?
(My understanding of the article is that the govt. *was* abiding by *certain*
interpretations of the existing law but was at odds with a particular court's
interpretation of it.)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
