OMG the emails!!
For cripes sake - I work for the government - our inboxes are amazingly small for the amount of incoming and outgoing email we receive DAILY. I get over 300 incoming emails per day - IF WE DO NOT DELETE, OUR MAILBOXES FREEZE. and I said 300 incoming - that does not count my outgoing, responding to the emails, meetings, etc. People have NO IDEA. Say someone sets up a meeting for you and invites 50 people - your email will receive 50 responses for ONE MEETING. of course you have to mass delete!
I also have experience with the encrypted blackberries/iphones. Nothing can come through our federal email system when encrypted without you putting in your code. If anything even LOOKS like the last four of a social, it is blocked by the system and we are reported to our security team for trying to send it without encrypting it. We have to change that code every 90 days - the SOS probably had to change her code much more often than that.
When i continue to read about the goddamned emails it makes me furious - i bet i delete easily over a thousand emails a week. Someone like the Secretary of State - who may be out of the country for weeks at a time - who knows how many emails come through, and personal emails - well, since I have begun this high stress job I have, who has time for personal emails on my personal account? it has thousands of emails that I have to delete on a regular basis.
I get very riled up about these deleted emails. It is a stupid, ignorant argument. He has nothing else.
