hello,
for the last couple of years i've enjoyed being able to send and receive secure emails from work. we have our own Exchange 2003 server and the network admin is trustworthy.
however, now my company wants to outsource our email server to a third party vendor. This is causing me anxiety because i don't want the new vendor to have the ability to read past emails.
my question is if I have deleted the old emails (i.e., purged them from the sent, inbox and deleted folders), can an Exchange Administrator still go into a person's mailbox and read messages that were sent or read months before? in other words, does Exchange keep a copy of every email that was ever sent or received so that an Administrator could possibly read it? Or, is the current contents of a person's mailbox all that an Administrator can see?
thanks.
