Hello
In case you guy's didn't realise it, but a User can't delete mail from GMail. It's just flagged as deleted and not displayed by the GUI.
GMail has to deliver all Mail, even deleted Mails, to the US Authorities if required.
They'll even give your confidential, deleted mails to the chinese, if asked.
Our Swiss Lay requires Providers (But not Companies running their own mailservers) to store the mail-headers for half a year, in case the authorities requires them. But not the mails themselves.
Unfortunately, scanning all the cra. in mails keeps the authorities from actually looking for Terrorists...
So much for GMail.
If you want a free lunch, you aren't in a position to complain...
Open-Source I don't consider a free lunch, you don't bitch about something, make it better and return it to the comunity.
Regards
Andy Wismer
