A client can also alter messages retained on a server or event insert 
new messages. This is interesting in computer forensics.

It means that if an email is on a server e.g. hotmail or gmail, it has 
no probative value unless supported by other evidence such as server 
records, digital signatures,  or corroborating evidence on other systems.

In my professional cyber-forensic practice I have tested just how much 
you can alter in an email on a server. The answer is essentially 
everything. All headers, dates, content etc.

Server records of email receipt are usually transient so after a few 
months they can no longer be used as corroboration.
