Unless you're running an SMTP server on your own machine, to which everyone who ever sends you email connects *directly* (from their own machine, not using a webmail system, and of course using an encrypted channel), then your mail is going through multiple intermediaries, any one of which can keep a copy of it. This is the way email has always worked. Deleting messages from the final stage IMAP or POP server after download does nothing to prevent this. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
