[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1469310, member: 110816"] The mail is held in the mbox format, so basically various folders with files in them. Mail wouldn't presume to know your intention when you choose to delete your accounts, so it wouldn't hide copies of stuff anywhere else (can you imagine if you had a hidden copy of your very large mailbox folder taking space that you can't somehow fix??). Did this person by any chance of Time Machine running to back up all of your data? If so, they can always go back to Time Machine and retrieve the old /Library/Mail folder with it's sub-folders/files and get the Sent folder back.. [/QUOTE]
