The Download folder seems less likely to contain relevant email info, but I guess it could hold attachments if the employee downloaded anything.

I’m a bit confused about the Cookies folder. I know it stores session data, but does it really help in this email investigation?

I remember practicing a question where the Temporary Internet Folder was mentioned as a source for cached data. That could be relevant here too.

I think the History folder might be important since it logs websites visited, but I'm not entirely sure if it captures email access.

I'm confident I can solve this. The Cookies folder and Download folder would also be good places to check for any saved email data or login information.
