I'm a federal employee. I'm pretty sure we all are on the same enterprise contract, but I can't say for sure it's the same at IRS. So for me we use Outlook connected to Exchange. So the emails are on the Exchange server, not local. I can log on Remotely to my work account from a variety of devices and open Outlook and see my emails. Copies may be stored locally but they are definitely on Exchange. A BSOD could represent a local hd failure among other things, but the emails aren't lost. The Exchange server is backed up, probably to tape. So if Exchange loses data, there should be a recent back up.
