Megan,

Thanks for your response..

What if we take this a little further..
Suppose I have permanently deleted a message and now someone steals my
server. Would they be able to find the email text by hacking the .edb file?
Or is the text somehow encrypted/compacted before written to the data store?

Cheers,
Lars
