Paul Allen is partially correct and so are the rest of you. Considering the way data is stored on a hard drive there is a possibility that the back-up of whatever was there are still there even if they appear to have been deleted. However, if the servers are small enough and all they do is push the mail through to the servers where the inbox storage is actually located then there is a high probability that it is not there. Either way the addressing tables that index where the data is physically stored on the hard drive are written over on a regular basis when a person deletes and email. What the recovery programs do is locate the email based on the data write structure of the hard drive by logically (mathematically) figuring out where the email should be located and beginning there and searching in an expanding circle from there until it locates the data or determines that it has been overwritten. What has to be done to resolve the issue is to get a forensic "ubergeek" like one of our best friends in there to determine if the information is actually still on the systems or not. However, by now with all the hoopla over the possibility that the records exist it would be very easy to have just such a person make sure that they do not exist. The only positive thing that I can see is that we are talking about the party that elected Ted Stevens and his "series of tubes" to congress so the number of "Ubergeeks" they have on staff are probably very slim. However, there are a lot of them that can be bought for the right amount of money and money is the one thing this group has far too much of, in my humble opinion.

I'll bet Rove has the backup of emails himself. The arrogance of these fascists. He probably reads them everyday. Rove is in his 60s. By the time a case can be built and trial, he will be dead of natural causes or a plane crash. Keep up the fight. I have been following the story. I’ll bet Rove has the backup of emails himself.

Keep up the fight.
