9. I cant say this enough...
e-mails are retrievable. It's VERY hard to eliminate all traces of an e-mail once it has been sent. Moreover, the same is true for hard-drives. Once information is stored, it is very hard to make it irretrievable.

In fact, there is an entire industry based on data recovery...for a reason.
