But what if I NEED one of these emails in ten years?
It hasn’t happened yet, but what if it did?
My inbox hasn’t been clear since 1999
I just turned off the notification badges for unread emails years ago and it stopped being a problem.
This is easy, CTRL+A, Delete
Problem solved.
Ha, it would probably take me a month to clean up my 10k+ email inbox. Work email though, I refuse to have more than 15 sitting in my inbox.
i had over 75K emails in my personal inbox, when i clicked ‘mark all as read’ it was a spiritual orgasm. then i spent an hour clicking on every unsubscribe button i could find. no ragrets.
I like to check the first couple email in one of my several email addresses once a year and have never missed anything that i know about
Personal email? Squeaky clean. Work email? I keep all of them for later reference. Currently have 6500. It’d be more of it wasn’t for our 1 year retention policy.
This I don’t get. Your work doesn’t archive emails? There’s been many times I was asked a question I knew came up years ago and thanks to the archive of mails I could answer the question quickly instead of starting from scratch again.
Is that why people are surprised when they see I have over 6000 unread mails?
If the email is a month old and I don’t remember what it is about, off to the done folder with it.
If it were truely important, the would have made a ticket about it.
the way this spelling error inverts the author’s meanig is very funny to me
What spelling error?
Nice fix.
And now I know it’s possible, so no one else has an excuse!
I have my personal inbox set to automatically mark an email as read if it contains the word unsubscribe. It makes managing my email a lot easier
ITT: so many people who pluralize emails like trafficks. (Sounds weird, right?)
Wait… you’re supposed to do this monthly???
…uh oh.
I’ve got 28 years of emails I need to clean up…
Just select all and delete it all. If it’s really important they’ll email again.
I was helping a lady whose data limit was an inch away from being reach and it was all emails. She must have had 200k unread alone.
I try to check my mail every day and delete all that are not necessary to keep. I have rarely failed so miserably at anything else.
select all click delete
Hell yeah I did it!
