A side note on Powells use of personal email
Clinton has defended her behavior by explaining that Colin Powell also used a personal email address for State Department business. This is an incredibly misleading claim, as the IG report reveals. The secure system the State Department uses was put in place during Powells first year there. The system was so primitive that it only allowed users to correspond with people within the agency. To contact anyone outside the agency, one had to use a different medium of communication. Powell used personal email which is different than a personal server to communicate outside the agency. He had a laptop with a separate line on his desk that he referred to as the unclassified line. Sounds a bit more responsible, no?
By the time Clinton reached the State Department, the system and related policies protecting security were far more sophisticated. This was partially due to previous cyberattacks.

Personal email hosted on a 3rd party site is more secure than a personal server?
