I was a federal contractor for NASA and let me tell you about government email: quota of 250MB of storage (2010-2012).

I spent every morning moving emails with attachments to local folders on my Mac (which had no backups) to keep from going over quota. If I went on a 2 week vacation emails would start to bounce to me.

After that fiasco I understood why Colin Powell told Hillary Clinton to just run her own email server (for non-classified communication).



So what was keeping the President from just issuing an Executive Order increasing the email storage quota?


That would require increase in the backing storage.
