fishy? wtf.
Why don’t they ask her to take a lie detector test and get it over with...
If they are using outlook with exchange server, the mail is stored on the server and mirrored on the client. The mail servers are backed up nightly and copies of backups are kept all over the place. It is almost impossible to lose email.
Every laptop and desktop you own can burst into flames and the mail is still on the server and on backup tapes. If I delete all of the mail in my mailbox, it will be deleted from the server but it goes into a ‘dumpster’ on Exchange and can be undeleted for several days or weeks depending on the admin settings of the server. And if that doesn’t work, someone can get the backup tapes and restore it.
Loss of the FAT table does not mean the data cannot be recovered. What a bunch of crap!!
