How old is your email?

I end up wit pages of them in my inbox!!i think i will delete a load of them...then i forget..but a lot of tem i think iought to keep!!!..but wy ive no idea...maybe i should just ave a big clearout and delete the lot!!

I usually delete an email as soon as I have read it, or after I have replied to it. If it is an email I want to keep I put it into a folder marked 'Save'. I will delete some of them from this folder when I not longer need to keep them. I don't like to keep a lot of emails in my inbox. I delete any spam unread and I frequently empty the trash, so I don't have too many emails stored.

Hi kbourgerie , My oldest email dates back to 2003 & i like to save all my emails specially from my friends. If they are spam or just forwards then i just delete them ~pinks~

I wasn't on the computer for a couple of months so my email was at 1000 and could not take any more (aol) I have been trying to get it cleaned out and finally got it down to 5 tonight...yee hawww . I hate when I let it get out of hand becsuse I get sometimes over a hundred a day to deal with...I still have tons of filed mail to look at and delete from the last time I got sick... at least now I have a laptop for when I may be out of commission....Good luck and Brightest Blessing, Mari

Right now I have 45 unread emails out of a total of 69. I go through and get rid of all the ones that I can deal with right there and then and file away all the ones I want to keep. I usually have a few that sit there for a few days before I get around to them (mostly mylot notifications). The last one I have in my inbox dates back to March 13 which is an email from our PTA - our fun fair is coming up next Saturday and there are details in that email that are needed to remind me of what to do when I volunteer that day.

I have over 1000. AOL changed it's mail so that e-mail that's not in a saved folder doesn't drop off after 30 days any more. So Everything that was in my old folder is still there. I try and go back and delete periodically and delete any new ones I want to keep but it's gotten overwhelming! I wish they'd bring the 'old mail' folder back!

Emails related to my business will be there in the Email box for nearly one year and not more than that.

Some of my emails I delete right away. But there are more that I hang on to. I don't know why but it is I just can't stand to delete them because I might need the information that is contained in the email. I have at least 500 that are older than a month old. Go figure. Maybe in emails I am just as much a packrat as in the physical things in my house.

Each to their own sweety and I have had an inbox older than that in the past and I can't stand it! I lose emails and forget where things are and forget to reply to things! At the moment my inbox is 17 and that is plenty old enough for me - I feel a great sense of achievement when I get it cleared! xxx

if the message is not important,i'll delete it after i finish reading,but i'll keep somethimh important in my inbox all the time.

Hi.. My oldest email is dated 2000. Its the year I created my email address. When I receieve emails I deleted those are not important or spam messages that able to get through my inbox. Some messages that are important I transfered or stored them separately in folders for future reference.

my email add is been created since 1998 and upto now i used it for personal account but i got 3 account active. i dont know if my hotmail are active.

Right now I have 1220 mails arrived and 425 mails sent, 833 mails in spam folder and 1130 mails in scrape. This generraly takes 2305 MB (35 %) of 6571 MB. I love gmail

My husband actually makes fun of me, I have emails from years ago. It is kind of like a diary for me. It is fun to go back and read about things that I was disgussing with friends and family from the past. Also my sister in law was killed about 4 years ago, and I still have all the emails that we sent back and forth to each other.

My first email is 7 years old. hehehe.. very old now huh. I created it when one of my college instructor asked our email accounts so that he'll send her announcements and other postings there in case he's not going to be around in few days so that when I made my very first email address. hehehe..

My oldest message from the inbox is dated Wed Nov 07, 2007. I usually delete messages after reading them, but the ones containing important information, I move to a specially designated Folder. I have created a few folders by theme, and I keep my mail there.

Most of mine I delete. The ones I save I put into folders That I have made so i can look back at them if they are important.

Gee, kbourgerie! Only 343 emails would be a breeze for me. I am up to about twice that many and every time I think I'm making some progress, I get a new flurry of incoming email. I do plan to catch them all up one day, but I don't know how long it will take.

I have some emails from 2004 that I have saved in old mail. Those with sentimental value; all from my husband. Most of the time I delete messages after I have read them unless it is something I need to flag and follow up on. Have a great day kbourgerie and I hope you are feeling good.
