How to permanently delete emails from my computer?

When we remove the trash on Thunderbird emails, are they removed and replaced (such as Secure Empty Trash on a Mac), or are they still recoverable from somewhere on the computer? If the latter, how can you completely delete and overwrite the deleted emails from the Thunderbird trash folder?

Thank you

Simple: compact your trash folders after deleting.

You might close Thunderbird, ferret on his profile and remove garbage files, and of course you are free to use all of the 3rd party utilities for scrubbing erased files.

I read users who run Firefox in the batch that deletes all the files that can store data in the session after Firefox has been closed. You may be able to adapt and adopt this approach too.

    Hello

    I got an email that was in my folder of spam on June 1, 2011.  Rather than consider this email, I clicked on the 'X' box that appeared next to my Junk folder in my Windows Live Mail client.  This permanently deleted email in my spam folder.  I wish I had this email restored in order to see what it was.  Is there a way to do this?  Thank you!

  • How to open my email from another computer while I'm on vacation

    Absences from home, how to send check another computer?

    The simplest and probably safer way is to access your account via webmail.  Go to the website of your email provider and there should be links here.  If the computers in its someone that you trust, then you can set up your account on your machine, but go to tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced FRONT to check the mail and the box to leave a copy of messages on the server, so that when you return, you will get the same messages.  Otherwise, they are removed.  If you are on a public computer, then its unlikely to be secure and your safer access would be via webmail.
