OK, based on what you guys are telling me, it is possible depending on the server protocol for emails to be erased. For instance, when I was working at a large company a few years ago, the company had its own servers. Company email did indeed disappear - guaranteed. So that company server must have been similar in nature to what you are describing.

But the copies that I had loaded into my computer hard drive did not disappear nor did the backup that I store in a remote hard drive (my aww-**** contingency). No matter what happened, I had those and they proved to be most valuable on a couple of occasions...

So how did Clinton make all of those disappear for everyone who had received them and stored them either on a laptop hard drive, or backed up onto a remote hard drive? I realize that gov't employees are not supposed to back up items to remote hard drives, but it DOES get done and not everyone of those 30,000 deleted emails went to a gov't person... How the heck did she do this?
