Guys:

Is there any way to remove an email from a company's email server? (I'm looking for hackers here.)

My law partner accidentally sent an email to our client's opponent. Not just any email, but an email where he describes our litigation strategy!

@damselfly59

Yes. He royally screwed up. There's nothing we can do now.

@damselfly59 @Zelduh Nope. He can't recall it after it has left his organization. Yikes.

@th3j35t3r @damselfly59

I am so bummed about this mistake. It involves a couple MILLION bux. (Not to our firm, but to the client.) I am not too happy with my partner right now.

Now, I have to call the client and get my head chewed off. Damn!

@Zelduh @th3j35t3r
So sorry, bet it won't happen again is small consolation.
Thanks J good to know.

@Zelduh @th3j35t3r
Do it military style. Own it fix it. Anyway to use it as a counter espionage tool?

@damselfly59 @th3j35t3r

I dunno. My partner just told me that we have to move our litigation plan up a couple weeks, I just dunno if I will have completed my forensic work by then. (god willing, we will not be fired for this...)

@Zelduh Yes, it is unethical and illegal

The fact you are thinking of this, and you still have the law partner speaks volumes

@Kinnison 🤔 @Zelduh was asking of anyway to it within the law

not by breaking any law

i mean, some might say, the fact you immediately thought someone wanted to break the law speaks volumes

@Kinnison

I know it is a crime (both a Federal & a State felony.) Gmail has a thing where you can grab it back, but my law partner does not use gmail.

Years ago, like in the 1990s, one of my geek clients was working on an app to help ppl retrieve an errant email someone sent to the wrong address.

My client is absolutely LIVID. Nothing I can do at this point.

I've practiced law for almost 40 years. I think I will lose this client.

@Zelduh Really depends on the software, and if the person is using same software. Some allow you to delete an unread Email

There’s a Chinese saying: once spoken, even the fastest horse cannot catch your words.

@Kinnison

I like that Chinese saying. At the same time, I need a drink before I call the client and tell her what happened.
