I got this on my facebook wall Because I like Mike Huckabee:
If you have an email account, your past may come back to tax you…Most of us let old emails pile up in our boxes and never even look at them. But guess who might be? The IRS. The ACLU suspected that the tax agency might be snooping through Americans’ email accounts, looking for evidence of tax evasion. So they filed a Freedom of Information request. This week, the IRS handed over a pile of documents that suggest they not only read taxpayers’ old emails, they see nothing wrong with it. In 2010, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that accessing emails without a warrant is unconstitutional. But the IRS papers show that their attorneys believe that applies just to the Sixth Circuit, which only covers Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan and Tennessee. Another internal IRS handbook claims the Fourth Amendment doesn’t protect emails because Internet users do not have “a reasonable expectation of privacy.” This is absurd and an abuse of our Constitutional rights. Congress—fix it!

Questella, I think if something is sent or received in an email, it's pretty much permanent... Even if you delete your account. Anyway, I've heard a lot of talk, maybe hype, that what happens on the internet is pretty much eternal.. An IT guy can pull up anything that's ever happened.
