The rule required State Department employees to preserve their emails.

Hillary did preserve them -- because her private server was set up to preserve them -- and handed them over to the State Department.

HOWEVER, if she had followed the "rule" to use the .gov account, then virtually none of her emails would have been properly preserved, because the .gov system wasn't set up to preserve them.

In 2011, for example, only .006% of State Department emails on the .gov system were preserved.

What OIG Found

A 2009 upgrade in the Department of State’s system
facilitated the preservation of emails as official records.
However, Department of State employees have not
received adequate training or guidance on their
responsibilities for using those systems to preserve
“record emails.” In 2011, employees created 61,156
record emails out of more than a billion emails sent.
Employees created 41,749 record emails in 2013.

 Record email usage varies widely across bureaus and
missions. The Bureau of Administration needs to exercise
central oversight of the use of the record email function.
