I have multiple email accounts and use them for different things. I have an account on gmail that gets all of my mailing list mail. I have another gmail account I use for correspondence related to a club I have a role in; all that mail gets pulled down to my local mail application. I also have two other accounts,…

That’s not what Bluetooth is for or how it works at all. Bluetooth is only for connecting devices together not creating networks. Bluetooth can connect your mouse to your laptop, but it doesn’t care about networks at all and isn’t aware of them.

You’ll still be connected by cell service, so wiping can occur without wifi.

It depends. If it rewrites the free space with some pattern, then the data is gone. If it just removes the file pointers from the file allocation table, the data will still be there in bits and pieces and may be potentially recoverable.

Good luck with that. Petraeus used drafts in a gmail account. Whatever you’re talking through is likely keeping a log of your conversation and, in some instances, it might be on your local machine.

It’s painful, isn’t it? I used to wonder how people can go through life without knowing how to change a flat tire on their car and I suspect the same people are in here arguing with people that administer, manage and work with email systems because “that’s now how Yahoo works.”

Yes. Apple phones allow remote wiping, which will reformat the storage and set the device back to “as delivered”.

You have an extraordinarily poor understanding of technology, especially email, from what I’ve read.

Except that the mail you use via Yahoo and what you likely use at work are two entirely different architectures with vastly different functionality, especially in terms of where the data is stored.

Maybe. Go look at a tool called Celebrite. It’s the primary forensics tool used on mobile devices. It’ll pull down where you were from your cell tower connections, texts, email you received, a list of sites you accessed, browsing history, where and when you took the picture, what songs you listened to and…

I worked with some forensics guys. I’d see them in their lab pulling the physical disc out and throwing it through a shredder.

Of course. 4 years later, I can remember every single computer I’ve accessed my email from. It could be something like what’s happened at our house. One of us bought a laptop, got it all configured, then got a new laptop a year later. The original laptop got handed over to my spouse, who worked with it for a while…

Defragmentation does not destroy data. It moves the bits for a specific file so that they’re closer to each other on the physical magnetic media. This makes file recall go much more quickly and, if you’re working with data that swaps between RAM and storage, those swaps occur much more quickly. But no data is…

Part of that is because the mail is stored in a compressed archive. MBOX for Mac, PST for PCs, usually.

No, Abedin did.

Unless you get subpoenaed...

Unless they had OWA active. 

See comments elsewhere about poor record keeping habits or the ubiquity of email and how poorly people manage it.

If you were the subject of litigation or an investigation, you’d be compelled during the discovery phase to either produce the email or to provide the user account credentials so a forensics examiner could pull down any mail up there. They’d probably pull everything, then use some data filtering techniques to get to…

You might want to take a look in the mirror. Your claim is utterly unsubstantiated by fact, but appears to be a reflection of your emotions about her.
