Hi,
I heard a story about how a program called
encase by http://www.guidancesoftware.com/
was supposedly used to recover web mail (yahoo) from a disk of a person
after the person had deleted the cache etc.. I am talking about large
amounts of email perfectly being restored.

I find the idea that web mail is stored on the local disk over long
periods weird.
The web browsers does use a cache to speed up browsing but I assume that
things like web mail pages get overwritten pretty fast. If not it would
be possible to go into an Internet cafe or university and read all web
mail read there in the past from the disk. This would be a huge security
hole. Anyone got some solid information about what happens when you read
webmail?
My guess is that the above program was running and storing the webmail
when it was being read not month later.
Thanks Ghiora
