Where did all the deleted mails in yahoo trash folder go?

Question

I read from a newspaper claiming that all those deleted mails are actually not permanently vanished, they were actually being transfered into some kind of data/code and cannot be cleared forever.Is it actually true?

Answer 1

I doubt it. Most mails are just garbage anyway. Yahoo uses qmail which sends deleted mails to /dev/null after they are deleted, and soon wiped from the system.

Answer 2

i don't think of there is any speedy delete such as you're describing (the place it skips the trash folder all jointly). in case you desire to be rid of the e-mail & be confident of it, once you hit delete, then in basic terms decide on "Empty Trash". could purge it good away that way! & purely takes one extra click...

Answer 3

here's an even scarier one for you i was reading about donating old computors to chairitys and they say all your information stays on the hard drive even after you delete it there are programs out there that will write zero's or random data over everything but i wonder how secure that is when you read about programs or businesses that can recover data from damaged or corrupted hardrives that makes me wonder if any of is really secure so its convinced me that if you don't won't it read don't put it in your computor hope this helps rich
