So How Much Email is Really Saved?
So a few weeks ago i wrote a blog post about your emails and how private they really are and in the end emails relaly get svaed to a huge document and are really never deleted...But how true is this? The article (http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/04/13/white.house.email/index.html) on www.cnn.com shows that many emails that include emails on very important topics show as the cia leak may be gone forever...These emails sent in the past few years already gone forever? Come on the goveremnt doesnt even save there own emails cause we know that they are saving ours...Some other emails that are missing including the karl rove issues...For all of you who didnt hear Karl was the center of a huge protest at American Univeristy (http://www.nbc4.com/news/11516096/detail.html) and these emails may be the answer but where are they?

Saving emails really depends on who is doing the checking. If the SEC is checking on a financial institution and wants to verify there's no insider trading, they will find every single little email sent over the company's network--from the corporate accounts or not. And, without getting too political (haha), if the emails are from "high level" people who don't have people to check... :?
I think that it really depends on who you are and what you do. I doubt that the government is looking seriously at high school students email accounts, but maybe if you are a government official, they pay more attention. Remember: every email you viewed on your computer is saved on it, they never really disappear and many work places moniter what emails you read and write.
