At my most recent work, the organization also has a mailbox limited size and would block the ability to send/receive should that limit be exceeded. HOWEVER, FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES (Lois Lerner’s position) the limit was HUGE.

If approaching the max allowed size for the mailbox, large files/records could be easily moved to PST files set up for that purpose. Both the mailbox and the PST files WERE HOUSED ON SERVERS. Working copies could have been kept on the individual’s hard drives also for efficiency.

I agree with you. My boss, a senior executive, has unlimited email storage size. My company backs-up daily and archives twice per week. We Hot Swap Hard drives daily and have multiple raid type redundacy system archives. I'm not IT, but what I do know is that emails are stored on and in, many different places and that Hard copies of discs and hard drives and every thing else are locked up in various bank vaults in triplicate.

My gut tells me that the IRS is covering up for 0bammy. Ms Lois will fall on the sword. It's just a matter of time.

Also, SENIOR EXECUTIVES are usually "of a certain age", as I delicately put it, and have to be taken care like small children when it comes to computer stuff.

Simply put, most of their generation cannot handle computer logic and do not have "computer intuition", which is possessed by their successors, the Video Children.

They're important, so they have "people" for that.
