It should be possible to delete a user, yes. I think it has been
discussed or specified in the requirements pdf that once a message is
in the user's mailbox, it stays there, so that's how it works now. At
any rate, deleting a message from the mailbox, which the user may have
already seen doesn't offer any more security. A user also doesn't see
messages in his/her mailbox, which were sent before he was added to
the pool.

The interesting part is what happens if a pool has been removed and
whether it should be possible at all. This could pose a security
problem if an impostor creates a pool with the same name (similar to
what might happen with a deleted user account)
