Digitalization goes both ways, if we want to be able to communicate with officials and B2B online, avoiding all the paperwork while keeping it all legally binding, same legal powers have to apply to emails sent out by the government too.

- ivanhoe 6y agoOne perhaps could argue to haven't seen it - not sure how that would hold in a court - but "magically disappearing" it sounds like a really bad idea to me. Mail server will either receive it or bounce it back, which is logged on both ends. When your client fetches it, it's logged on the imap/pop3 server. Your local mail client leaves traces on your hdd. You can get yourself in a lot of trouble unless you're really skillful in covering your steps.
