Taken to the logical extreme, knowing the deleteing mail (after dumping the trash) isn't actually removed from the database until you run the purge, would it be illeagal in Germany to purge deleted email?there is a difference. deleting via imap just "moves" them to the trash folder but in fact does not remove the mail from your account yet until the user does empty the trash folder.
but he suggested deleting the content of the trash folder even if the user does not empty it! THIS is a violation against federal law. there is a difference between an existing mail and a "rest" of a deleted mail in the system.
How far do you take this? Seems silly to me. The intent of a trashcan is clearly 2 things, a temporary storage mechanism to allow for the oops factor, and to mark items as not needed. If you provide for the oops factor, I think this is perfectly fair.
(1) i do not make the law (2) its not silly its a protection of peoples privacy(3) i dont want ppl tellin me what to delete and when. it should be *only* my decision. ;)
Another example of government being silly IMHO..
depends of your point of view. e.g. if you are the postmaster or the user...

Who said anything about the system operator deleting them? If the people are at all paranoid, they'll make sure they empty their trash folder at the earliest opportunity. The notice simply points out that "in the trash" isn't "deleted", and anything they don't want made public in an official inquiry should not be left in the trash bin. Of course, I would also have a policy in effect that enforces a total mailbox size, and let people know that, when their mailbox is "full", further mail would be bounced back to the sender, until they made room in their mailbox. Unless, of course, THAT is also illegal in Germany..._______________________________________________ Dbmail mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
