There's a difference between message contents and meta-data. Even the logs often contain the subject, folder, and TO/FROM frields.
It is pretty hard to diagnose issues without at least gathering basic information on the state of an account.
Not really sure I see the issue. If Google, for example, had an issue and they needed to examine the meta data surrounding individual pieces of my email I'd likely be alright with that as long as they didn't read the message's content/body or any attached files which I view as quite private.
- ricardobeat 13y agoThe subject + from + to fields already expose a lot of information, and should be considered just as private as a message's content. I would expect it to be at least truncated in some way to prevent rough employees from accessing user accounts, still debuggable just as easily.
