I can’t delete or encrypt emails for the same reason. It’s a legal document, though I don’t know how it’s treated by the courts. Definitely it’s evidence.

- Terr_ 2y agoA law/regulation that prevents you from even encrypting your backups? That sounds pretty weird.
- aborsy 2y agoNo, I meant, the evidence is lost when using end to end encrypted email (like with PGP or proton): the server as a trusted third party doesn’t have access to the email in plaintext to confirm the message or document.
- TheNewsIsHere 2y agoAbsent specific archiving solutions, most providers don’t and wont care about third party legal disputes. I’ve never heard this argument before. It’s routine in many regulated industries with de facto or legally required preservation mandates to encrypt email, often with S/MIME or sometimes something proprietary.
