For those who haven't heard or don't keep tabs on the IRS, it appears, by their own admission that they assume they have the right to read your emails, texts, and monitor your phone calls. It's not QUITE as ominous as it sounds, but it's bad enough. They are assuming the right (without a warrant) to read any of your emails that have remained on your server for 180 days or more. The texts and phone calls are also without a warrant. This explains their reasoning, sort of.
Internal Revenue Manual - 9.4.6 Surveillance and Non-Consensual Monitoring
I got this from the (POS) ACLU which explains it in a little simpler language.

This is just a heads-up to watch what you put in your emails and texts and to make sure they don't languish on the server. I made sure to set mine to just 7 days and there's really no good reason you have to leave them there even that long unless you're on vacation without email or cell phone access.
