Amount of Email Correspondence

The request was refused by Department for Work and Pensions.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions / DWP-Officer

Under the Freedom-of-Information Act, could you please advise how many emails the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (SSWP) or his office received or sent since June2013 (until today/June2015)?
Could you break this down by: sent, received
Could you break this further down by: topic, month-and-year (starting with June2013), SSWP/office-staff
Where this does not breach individual privacy rights, could you also add a column for the department/agency/office/organisation who this correspondence was with?

And if this is still within the cost-limit, could you give the same breakdown for the Minister of State for Employment (MSE) and her office (also since June2013)?

(If any part of the above exceeds the cost-limit, please advise for how many months you can provide this information for without exceeding the limit.)
Kind regards

Thank you for your email. If your email is asking to join the waiting list
for Private Office open days we will add your name to the list. Due to the
high volumes of requests we get to attend these events we are unable to
acknowledge every single reply received. You will hear from us next once
we are arranging the next open days. If you are applying for the STAR
scheme you will shortly hear from us. You will be issued with a security
clearance form, and please be aware that the security services take a
number of weeks to process this.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Department for Work and Pensions's handling of my FOI request 'Amount of Email Correspondence'.

If the earlier request exceeds the cost-limit, please simply export all email headers into csv files from the relevant email-accounts for the SSWP and his office.
This is quickly done and contains most of the relevant information anyway.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/a...

Yours faithfully,

Dear DWP freedom-of-information-requests,

If exporting the relevant emails into a csv file is still too costly, or not practical, then please assist and advise why, and how you arrived at that conclusion.
It also could help to know, how many email-accounts fall within the scope of the request, what equipment/ software is used, how long it takes you to export emails into a csv file, etc.
Please advise...

Yours sincerely,

Claimants-Rep

The easy steps to export emails into a csv file are given e.g. here:

It probably takes less than 1 hour to do.
