Under normal circumstances, these emails would exist in the following places: 1) The local desktop of the sender. This is where the [supposedly] crashed hard drive lives, and where the IRS wants you to believe the emails have been lost. 2) The email server serving the recipient clients. 3) The email server serving the sending clients [these are distinct machines if the senders and receivers are in different organizations.] 4) Multiple local desktop copies of senders and recipients involved in these threads. 5) By Federal law, nearline storage of the server archives -- both source and destination and/or digital tape storage of the source and destination servers. 6) By Federal law, paper backups of correspondence involving taxpayers or litigants. 7) The NSA.
The IRS wants you to believe that destruction of a single hard drive and failure to maintain archives according to Federal law (oh, well...) accounts for all of the copies of these emails. It does not. The IRS is thumbing its nose at Congress, the American People, and the law.
Well said and ignore my last.
the archiving software commonly used is a client application that is installed or exists on either an MTA routing server or an MX gateway. This intercepts every message passing through it and decides whether to archive it or not based on the administrators selections. I’ve configured the software in the past, I know how it works and it does indeed matter what is selected as well as how long the archives are stored before they are purged. You can create policies for global use or smaller groups of individuals and have customized archiving rules applied to the given groups or even individual users. There may be lower-end applications out there that do not give you these options, but I don’t know who would use something like that.
She apparently had a lap top in addition to her office computer that “broke”
Yesterday I went to the local library signed in my email account and brought up emails from two years ago in the sent folder.
Even needed help with password
We need a hacker that’s smarter than a fifth grader
