If you’re recommending setting up a forward/IMAP collection from a Gmail account, don’t forget to mention deleting the messages from the server as well! Emails left on a server for more than 30 days are considered “abandoned property” for the purposes of warrantless search.
What an insane fact, I had no idea thanks for sharing 😱
Do you have a source for this?
The most I could find is that the Electronic Communications Privacy Act allows for warrants to be issued for emails less than 180 days old. I’ve found vague references and snippets from articles no longer available that seem to claim some acts that have passed since then allow for simple subpoenas instead of full on warrants for said emails, but 180 days is the only threshold I’ve found and again, it’s for less than 180 days that’s at danger.
