I agree with MEMASON that it depends how you have it set up. I set up my comcast account to sync up with my blackberry and make emails available there too. I have noticed that after I delete some emails on my laptop, they are still available through my blackberry. I have my blackberry set up to automatically delete all emails greater than 30 days old.

But, that being said - I imagine that comcast "backs up" their emails somewhere in case of the need to recover. Also, I'm not sure how encrypted any of the emails are, so they could be vulnerable to hackers and technical system administrators. Also, like you see on CSI, even when you delete something on your home computer, it stays in memory until it is overlaid by something new.

I try to be careful and never send important info like social security numbers, bank account numbers, or passwords in an email because of the chance it could get hacked.
