I don't know about the NSA, but e-mail deletion can be stopp

Learn how to use your service...

You all might THINK you have no choice about auto-deletion of e-mail, but there is a setting right here that allows you to specify if you want them to allow deletion or not. If you log into webmail, and go to "preferences", you can tell it NOT to delete read or unread messages automatically. You all don't understand, many people don't use their Comcast e-mail address because they have been using other mail providers like "Yahoo" or "G-Mail", or they have Outlook Express told to "leave a copy of message on server", and the person never deletes the message after the download it to their mail client, which generates call-in's about "why is my mailbox bouncing messages back to senders" when their box is full, and also, Comcast doesn't want to waste server space on spam from 8 months ago if you don't even read your Comcast mail. It would be pointless to waste that server space on such an old message in the first place, especially if YOU don't use their mail, but 10 other people DO use it.

As far as disclosing information to the government, I can sorta understand why they would charge, because Comcast has an archiving company, and they have to get the info from them if it's old info... Long story short, they reserve the right to charge for the info. It's THEIR network, and I doubt for SERIOUS crimes (like bank fraud, child porn, etc) they won't charge, but for petty stuff (Joe hacked into my computer, and he read my diary, and I wanna sue him) they will make it worth their time, and discourage petty suits from being made.

Re: Coool

If there was evidence of you doing something illegal, I think you'd get key-logged by the government and cracked that way. But now you don't have to worry about bored or corrupt agents of the government snooping through your personal and financial info without cause.
