In reply to the discussion: Most Official Emails Were Not Auto-Archived Until February (2015), Says State Department Official [View all]KMOD
(7,906 posts)76. Oh my goodness,
The State Department can archive whatever they choose.
Hillary's claims are true. Her emails, again, the one's sent to .gov email addresses are preserved.
It is not Hillary's fault that the media cannot understand, or correctly report this story. It is not Hillary's fault that the State Departments IT dept. are inept.
Don't confuse archived with preserved.
Her emails to .gov addresses, are on the server. If they wish to archive them, they can certainly do that.
And although every single Kerry email may go to the archives, someone in archives will remove most of them, since they are not simply worth archiving.

You have to parse Hillary's words carefully. She said she did not SEND any classified information.

Because in the current culture of security every blessed thing is restricted information.

Another point. The .gov emails are still in the State server, even if not automatically retained.

Odd that they would auto-archive Kerry's emails the day he started, but there was no thought

I don't think that's the same as 'archiving' in Federal records lingo though.
