I have a feeling I'm not going to get an answer to my question.

Impatient, I know. But if I go to my email right now I've got about three pages of emails I haven't read. Examples from just the first page:
My business associate, ebay has sent me four emails. I allow them to come in, check the titles, read some, delete the rest without looking.
A sometime supplier, Office Depot. Eight emails. I really should block these.
And, there are about five other "sources" over various degrees of uselessness that show up all the time.
Again, in Hillary's case, they just found 17,000 new ones? How many total are there!!! And she can't be reading or writing all of these....
I get that she had a private server. Correct me if I'm wrong but at the time she was Secretary of State that was not illegal or anything? Dumb, maybe. I don't know though considering the recent hack jobs maybe it was safer after all? (I hope I'm joking)
Were any of these 17,000 spam? Did the go right to the trash box?
I know we concerned she kept secrets. I get that. But the shear volume we are talking about? And by deleting them are we talking about the occasional, "I'm recycling this crap" type deleting?
Need help...need explanations....thanks!
