If, as is usually done with IMAP, the email is stored on a server that is neither owned, nor operated, nor controlled by the recipient of the email, then the security issue is the IMAP vendor turning that email over to third parties without your knowledge, authorization, or consent. US Law is clear that such email _can_ legally be turned over to third parties, if certain specific conditions are met. It is extremely difficult for IMAP users to be out of compliance with those specific conditions. The irony here is that when the law was passed, not only was the norm to be out of compliance, but the being in compliance with those conditions took a series of active steps, on the part of the end user. Back then, no matter how hard Joe Sixpack tried, he would not have in compliance with those conditions.(Ah, the days when 100 kb mailboxes were the norm, and mail sysadmins were ruthless about delting your email, regardless of your desires.) jonathon -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
