Lets be generous

Using the number of 650,000 emails found on the Weiner's shared computer. Lets say that 550,000 are just Anthony being Anthony.

That leaves 100,000 in Huma's "life insurance" folder. Hillary turned over 55,000 to investigators, and deleted 33,000. So that gives us the possibility that Huma has all of the deleted stuff plus 12,000 "other stuff" that might be damaging to Hillary.

If you find that hard to believe, don't forget Huma had access to both, oops I meant to say 13 devices belonging to Hillary.

Can someone that is more IT savvy than me (which means just about anyone) help me out a bit with an explanation of how an e-mail gets into one's computer? I can go into any public library in the state and log into my G-mail account and read my e-mails. Does that mean that my e-mails are "on" that computer if someone checks it? I was under the impression that I was just accessing messages that are stored up in the sky or somewhere, and that even if I archived a message in a file that the storage folder also was not physically in my computer. I realize it would be if I saved it to Documents on my hard disc.

I haven't heard any reporter address what seems to me an obvious question: who was able to access the messages? Huma claims she did not even know they had been saved. Could her strange estranged husband Anthony Weiner have read them without Huma giving him a password?

Try this one, Kiamichi, and see if it helps:

How E-mail Works
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/e-mail-messaging/email.htm/printable

Any email you read or website page you open on a computer is now on that computer. Most emails are encrypted, so it's not likely anyone can read them after you close the browser. That would depend on the browser and computer settings, tho, as the browser could have saved the password. Beyond all that, tho, the stuff is usually readable by computer experts who can recover most deleted files on a computer or phone long after it's been removed. That process is usually expensive, so the average person rarely is willing to spend the money involved to get it done. Using a public computer at a library always carries some risk that someone might attempt to access your stuff.

One theory I heard was Huma had backed up her phone to the computer, and that's how the emails got on the computer. I think it's possible her husband had her password, and possibly had read the emails without her knowing it.

If you're using an email program such as Outlook or Thunderbird, then the emails are neither hidden nor encrypted. They all just sit right there, ready to be recalled at anytime.
