Notebook counts 421,178 messages in AfD email leak
Original title: Overview of the German AfD email leak
The hexane archive also holds WordPress databases for afd.de and about 140 other party sites.
An analysis of the hexane archive describes two datasets: ten AfD mailboxes and WordPress databases for www.afd.de and about 140 other party websites. The notebook counts 421,178 stored messages, 49,554 threads with at least two emails, and 93,635 addresses in headers, spanning March 2013 to 14 September 2026 by send date. It says the source deduplicated by Message-ID and that mailbox-folder counts differ from header-address counts because of Bcc, lists, aliases, and mail filed under other folders. It also reports 63,718 threads citing emails missing from the archive.
Unconfirmed: Counts are the analyst's computations from the hexane archive, not an official party confirmation.
- Only 42 emails share a Message-ID, and 81 have none.
- The bundesschiedsgericht folder holds 101,078 emails, but only 14% mention that address.
- Gauland's folder stores 32,615 emails; he sent 15 of them.
- 84% of threads are a single email; 9,111 threads span more than one mailbox folder.
