Do they (Google) or do they not keep deleted e-mails beyond a few days for server crashes? For as long as I have had gMail I have accessed it through a POP account but daily, sometimes 2x/day, I go through the browser and delete ALL my mail, incl. SPAM, and empty the trash. What is the likelihood that any of my mail is retained. Yes, I know Google's privacy policy says they can keep it offline indefinitely, but does anybody know for sure the facts of gMail retention?

Thanks,

Brad
