Has anyone out there created a utility that will download and delete any gmail messages older than 6 months, storing them only in an encrypted local store?

- kleiba 14y agoI would be surprised if deleting a mail from your gmail account would actually delete them from Google's servers?! I was always under the assumption that Google will store them until eternity. But as assumptions go, I can't really back that up -- but perhaps someone on HN has better knowledge?
- aioprisan 14y agoI'd be interested to hear about this as well.
- pjbrunet 14y agoGood question. I deleted my Amazon account about a year ago which wasn't easy--required back and forth correspondence with tech support: "Yes, I'm absolutely 100% sure I really, really understand the implications of deleting my account." In any case, I keep getting Amazon gift cards from people so I go to sign up to Amazon for a new account. Turns out my account was never actually deleted, I was able to click "forgot my password" and they still had a record of everything.
