Feel free to call we wrong for stating this. After all, you have a link that mentions nothing about the rules governing the transmission of Government secrets.
You are absolutely correct. Government employees do training on an annual basis when it comes to PII, record-keeping, and classified/sensitive materials. It is not, nor has it ever been (at least within the past 4 years I have had in-depth experience with such things) acceptable to use your private email for official business or to store any kind of sensitive documents on an unsecured or private server. You can't so much as stick a USB drive into a government computer without it raising red flags... Even if only to charge your iPod. Many government installations (especially military) go so far as to completely block access to private email, altogether.
