It make take care of email you send or receive, but it has no control of email you send into other domains.  Most businesses are legally bound to keep copies of email for several years. (See Sarbanes-Oxley legislation)  And services like Yahoo, GMail, AOL and Hotmail for sure do.

Assume any email you send could be resurrected if their were a legal reason to do it.

Look what I found. Now you don't have to worry about your emails being left around. You can protect your privacy with Bigstring’s recallable, erasable & self-destructing email. Bigstring acts like an automatic shredder for your sent email. You can change or recall any email you send with Bigstring at any time, any place & any where.

I know from personal experience that it does indeed self destruct & not allow forwarding of the email with AOL.

The email is never delivered to your inbox, only a link to the email on their servers is stored on your computer or in your email system.

Therefore, when you send an email, it is never actually "delivered" to the end user, only a notification of the message is delivered.  If you "recall" it in their server, it is no longer available to the receiver.

So it will work on every single email system out there because the "message" is never delivered, only the notification..

It is good in the fact that it is recallable, but bad in the fact that it exists on their server.

You are welcome...

It is an interesting idea.  I would just repeat however that never think your email can't be read by someone with the proper motivation/authorization and equipment.  I don't care what it is, once those bytes go out on the 'wire' they can be intercepted and copied and there is nothing you can do about it.  The only protection would be encryption, and even that would just slow them down (assuming we're talking about a government agency)
