> many users are aware that different versions of their draft emails are stored on Yahoo’s servers and are available for recovery by law enforcement, even if the user deletes their final draft
That is one hell of a slimy, weasel word definition of "delete". Basically "delete will delete the email except for the copies of the email we keep for the police".
- tbrownaw 10y agoAre you sure that being available for law enforcement isn't just a side-effect of being available for "undelete" or a general "undo" mechanism, for when the user inevitably fat-fingers something?
- robbiemitchell 10y agoThey could set a pretty small window prior to auto-delete in those cases.
- darkstar999 10y agoYes, if you read the article, this was caused by an auto-save feature.
- smegel 10y agoYou can't "undelete" a deleted draft email, so no.
