I wrote this on a comment to this question. But I feel it deserves it's own investigation.
Here are all of John Podesta's e-mails from 2007.
A couple of interesting facts:
-
The record begins on May 4th, 2007. This is the oldest e-mail on record in the Podesta WikiLeaks. Either Wikileaks are holding on to prior e-mails for further analysis or... John Podesta created a new e-mail on May 4th, 2007.
-
A lot of the first e-mails on record are of "undelivered e-mails", which is common when you create a new e-mail address, especially back in 2007.
There is something here.
Note that the oldest Podesta e-mail in the WikiLeaks record was sent on May 4th, 2007 to Herbert 'Herb' Sandler of the Sandler Foundation.
Herb Sandler has become a relevant person of interest in this investigation, as is the Sandler Foundation. This interest reports to an e-mail chain titled Martha's Vineyard.

Has been noted before.
A more likely theory is he wiped the server (and destroyed the media) in that time frame, and emails started working again once the new service was brought up.

For our reasons, is there any effective difference between a wiped server and a new email address? Either way, it suggests he was trying to get rid of incriminating evidence

it's Stonetear and the Benghazi trails all over again, some of the most suggestive evidence they had was the timing of email wipes with key dates

Precisely. I'm no lawyer, but it seems like those dates would be admissible in court as intent to destroy evidence.
