Is it possible for someone to erase emails between you and them on YOUR account

From their's? I can't find an email I sent with a story. It was a big futz and the story was never run. For some reason I can't find the thing in my account now... the sent folder doesn't have it either. The futz wasn't my fault, so I'm wondering if the dude who's fault it was erased it somehow. Anyone know?

1. I think it depends upon what email account you are using.

AOL does have a thing where you can "un-send", I think. I wish I could do that on my Hotmail, which is my main account.

2. Nope

What do you use for email? Outlook? Is it stuck in an "Outbox" somewhere?

3. As the other person said, depends on the account...

also, e-mail servers sometimes have settings, where sent mail is deleted from them after a certain period of time, this doesn't affect sent items that are stored locally on your e-mail client, however. You may be able to recover it from a local backup of your client software, but it really depends on your settings in that as well.

4. Whatever the case, it might be a good idea to

change your password right now. I mean, immediately.
