I assume all my email is readily available to authorities, whether I deleted it or not. E-mail is inherently not designed to be private. I also assume multiple copies of it exist in various locations around the globe. There's a phrase: 'Dance like no one's watching, send e-mail like your email is going to be leaked'.
But I feel your pain. Outlook is the worst. When you delete items from Trash, it sends them into another folder where you can 'recover' deleted e-mails. Everyday Joe assumes the e-mails are deleted when you purge trash, but oh no, dark patterns striketh again!
- neogodless 4y agoAgreed. The "annoying" part is that I accidentally created one folder, then several more in trying to figure out the issue. Several IMAP clients I've tried show me those folders even after deleting them and emptying the trash, so the UI is permanently cluttered unless I can repurpose them. Fortunately "move" and "rename" folder still seem to work.
