Angela,
There are copies of the e-mails, unless they were deleted as well, at the recipient (sent e-mails) and the sender if they were received e-mails.
I have multiple devices connected to an e-mail server. One device is setup to delete the e-mails after 30 days. Which means copies of the e-mails are on my PC as well as the server. The copies on my PC are kept until I manually delete them.
I use 30 days because I don't own the e-mail server (just a service) and they limit how much e-mail is allowed per account. 30 days does limit how much e-mail I can access on my mobile devices. They usually only keep a subset on the device. So the more that is left stored on the server, the more that is accessible to mobile devices.
If this is an Outlook server, it may keep everything on the server, until it is specifically deleted. At GE, this is how it was setup. Not many of us had remote access (I left GE in 2001!). At Cameron it was similar with Exchange servers (I left them in 2008).
