A method to securely empty trashed Mail messages
Authored by: webbix on Nov 10, '04 03:10:05PM

Not to mention that it may also reside on the server. Depends on what your intent is I suppose. If you wanted no trace of a message accessible by anyone then this will probably provide little if any help for that. Also, mail messages are streamed in clear view over the internet unless you use some type of encryption.

The bottom line is that if you want to be sure that no message is viewed by anyone other than those you intend (and actually whomever they decide to share it with or leave it vulnerable for) is to use encryption such as PGP or similar.
