even if you have logged out of hotmail adn emptied the delete bin..

On hotmail I'm pretty certain there is no way once you have emptied the delete bin.

think it depends on what kind of email. I can't on my hotmail, but on my work e-mails (which are internet based and I can check at home) I go into options, and it gives me a choice to recover deleted items.

yes, teh emails should have been stored as temporary files on your computer when you downloaded them, surely?

I have done this on older operating systems, havent done it for a bit.

were is the privacy in that then, if they can be read after deleted and delete bin emptied (all whilst still on hotmail).

i am confused now.

there was NO privacy on older windows systems lol.
there wont be now, when Ive figured out how to get them

im stil confused. are you saying you can retreive my mails now.

no Im not a hacker! on our family computer I meant.

The thing is hotmail is on the Microsoft servers so there is no way to get them back. There is a small chance that anything that has been viewed exists in Temporary Internet Files on your computer, but it would be extremely difficult to retrieve them if not impossible.

night, sorry didnt mean you were a hacker.
I was totally confused by some of the replies, conflicting advice.

Thanks for the replies, it seems I am ok.
