Was against policy.... to not use the provided email services.
And Email really isn't secure even with BES, when it is sent outside of an internal network. Even with BES she shouldn't have sent a few of the secret emails that she sent. As a VIP you can bet there are those that have tried to intercept her emails (especially while she was out of country), and most likely they were able to collect those secrete emails.
If she had been using the State Department's services... someone would have caught what she was doing, and corrected her.
I hadn't heard that her email server was BES.

I think it's just an Exchange server, no BES or anything like that: Update: Clinton?s e-mail is on a hosted Exchange 2010 server, not in Chappaqua | Ars Technica
Yeah, that's what I thought. I know she was known to use a BlackBerry, but it was the use of her personal email server that wasn't on BES that caused all the mess.

You misunderstand what BES protects. BES protects a handset and its connection to a mail server but the actual server itself gets no additional benefit from having BES connections to it so if the server uses a poor encryption scheme, doesn't get timely patches, or is just configured incorrectly, then there is no security at all.

Looks like she went with Signal for messaging now.
Could've been a possible marketing move for BlackBerry to provide BBM Protected to all campaigns as a way to get some 'mindshare'.
