Maybe you're trying to delete any persistent virtual sweet Nothings an old romance, or perhaps you are trying to remove all signs of top-secret government work, whatever the case, you probably expect email eliminated remain eliminated.

That's just not the case with the current iPhone OS.

A colleague with the name of Matt Janssen was looking for something in iPhone OS 3.0 through 's new search homescreen, when he noticed that some of the results should not be there. Sure, that were relevant to the keyword search - but these results were the messages that are supposed to have been removed long ago.

Therefore, Matt ran another test: he sent an email to himself, and then is deleted from your iPhone. Their rubbish is cleared, and then went searching again. Of course there was. "Perhaps it is thrown on the server?" Thought. Thus suppressing any trace of it from the server, and ran the search again. Still occur. The iPhone apparently cached messages, with some as old as 4 months are still appearing.

Always skeptical, which ran the same test ourselves. The first time, all worked as expected. We deleted the email, delete the trash, ran the search, and .. nothing. The email has ido. We were about to write it off as some kind of fluke or simulated, when he ran the test a second time. In the second over, like what happened Matt said that once killed our email has gone from the tomb.

Dim lights

While the likelihood of nabbing someone guessing the phone and the subject line is questionable whether that potential is there is pretty bad. If you're doing something that is not necessarily supposed to do this, the fingerprint is virtual, but a quick search away - and all the possible needs Sleuth is a bit of the subject line.
