shure - but its not very clear that the mails are residing online
ONLY. since you never get a warning about this, you might simply
forget. also, its not very evident that SENT and DRAFTS are handled
the same way...
the fact that this is confusing to many is evident - i know a lot of
instances where savvy ppl have managed to erase a lot of mails.
also, since you can access INBOX, DRAFTS and SENT even if you dont
have an internet connection can make you think youre safe. in
reality, youre not.
