Interesting find with hex editor on DET1 Just Deals Beige

So I was playing around with an old Southwestern Bell branded "eMessage" (DET1 MIVO 100 w/ 2.22CIDSV firmware) that I got from Just Deals a good time ago, and while browsing with the hex editor (Shift-Fn-T while powering on, then hiting shift F3? however it is done, I forget) I found what appear to be someone else's saved emails. The unit came to me unconfigured, I've added one user and left the other 4 blank. At around 02 c0 a0 plus or minus there are several emails from/to a Kirstin who is apparently new to email ("I GOT MAIL FOR MY PHONE!!"). Interesting to read. My guess is that the Just Deals units were re-furbished from a warrenty return. They reset them at the factory but that does not wipe the user space memory clear. So I get to read some random person's emails. Check it out if you have one of the Just Deals mailstations.

Not necessarly useful information, but interesting and raises several questions about privacy.

After poking around some more it looks like saved messages on my machine start at 02 4d 00. The test message I'm trying to send starts there and then below that is an older message. The messages end and it goes back to 000's at 03 26 c0.

This is fun.

Sorry to keep replying to my own messages, but I just tried the Clear All Data reset as well as the Clear Email Data reset and neither has any affect on the stored messages, although once you clear them you can't get to them via an account.
