Thousands of them, in fact. I've used the very same email account as my only one since 1994. Prior to that time, my email was on CompuServe. In that time, I've started and closed half a dozen businesses, all small, but all heavy generators of incoming email. I've had half a dozen different computers during that time, which is why I use an online email client. It keeps me from having to deal with email storage on my own computers.
When the emails are no longer needed, either legally or for business purposes, I delete them from the Yahoo server. Since I have a well-designed folder system, it's pretty easy to do. We do not know how Hillary Cinton's email server was set up, nor how her email storage was organized. Given how busy her email system must have been, I imagine a storage strategy had been created and used. Wouldn't you think so?
