Are Deleted Emails Really Deleted? You Might Think They're Deleted, But…

Описание: ✴️ "Permanently deleted" email may or may not be recoverable. Depending on the situation and motivation, that email could come back to haunt or help you.

Deleting email is similar to deleting a file on disk. Both can use recycle or trash bins, and both permanently delete when the bin is emptied. With an online service, there's no way to know what "permanent" means. In a desktop mail program, there are several ways a permanently deleted email might still be recoverable. Depending on the situation, backups (either your own or those of the service you use) might be a way to recover. And, of course, the person at the other end of the message -- sender or recipient -- could also have a copy.
