Can a mailbox truly expire or does it simply get archived? Can a text really be deleted or does it move to another folder? Can I simply log off and shut down or do I remain partially connected? When I manage to restart I hope I retain some memory.

Death of a Mailbox
Can a mailbox truly expire or does it simply get archived? Can a text really be deleted or does it move to another folder? Can I simply log off and shut down or do I remain partially connected? When I manage to restart I hope I retain some memory.
I got the title from an email I received from the author John Scalzi. We're not friends, I just subscribe. He was talking about a more physical mailbox I think.
