I use Hotmail and even if it offers me a big storage, perhaps it is 5GB. And it seems there is no need for me to delete any emails because I have enough space. However, I don't want to do so. I still delete any emails which are not important. Even for my good friends' emails, if they are not so meaningful, I will also delete them.

Hey youless. I do the same as you do. I use gmail more now. Even though they do provide a large space, I just can't help delete those not that useful e-mails. Sometimes I would delete the important ones by mistake.

That doesn't bother me a lot. Basically I use gmail to receive the mails from mylot mainly. Thus it's till sufficient.

Hi youless,
I can't stand a messy inbox either on my desk or in my email accounts. What I need gets filed away in folders as soon as I read it. Everything else gets deleted.
I go through my folders on the first of each month and delete the ones I no longer need.

Oh yeah , I delete emails which are not important, which are just promotional marketing emails of no interests at all to me. A lot of junk mails too, I delete them every day.

hi you.
i usually delete emails after i've read these. i only keep the important ones. i see no sense keeping my inbox full with emails that i won't be re-reading or needing in the future.
that's just me though. to each his own i guess even when it comes to emails.

I do delete some emails. I am glad that I can keep most of my emails. I was looking for very important email from 2006 and I was able to find it.
I always star my important emails, so I can easy find them when needed.

Yes I do. I have so much spam email I have to delete it. I delete most everything after I read it and forward it (if I decide to forward it). Most of it is just junk anyway. If its something I think I might need like a receipt for something I paid for I will hang onto it for awhile.

I keep diligently deleting Emails from my inbox .I don't know when the system would get overloaded because I am not too familiar with these things. To be on the safe side I do it everyday .I also delete notifications from mylot.com after I have gone through them. I look at the discussions started by friends every time I log on to mylot.com and so I don't mind deleting them.

I'm a Yahoo! user and I like have 1-2 GB of storage (I'm not really sure) and I still delete e-mails that aren't really that important to keep like notifications from myLot and Friendster and such. Right after I read it, I delete it. I just save those from my school and other personal e-mails worth keeping.

Every time i finished checking the mails i delete all the mails,from the inbox and from the bulk folder.
If i thought that some of the mails that i have received is good enough for second reading, as it may be interesting or knowledgable, i move them to the respective folders that i do maintain.
Take care friend.

If I don't need them anymore then I delete them. If I need them, then I file them away in folders. It's a lot more organised that way for me and easier to find what I need.

I use yahoo mail and indeed it gives me unlimited storage. Still I would delete emails that don't really mean anything to me or after I reply them (and I don't have to remember them). I just store important stuff which I would make reference to later on. And for some reason, I can't stand my mailbox being messy storing everything, therefore, I delete everything I don't really need there.

Hi youless! I have two email providers, yahoo and gmail but I do delete all emails that I already have read and are not that much important. I just don't like keeping emails that are not necessary or important for any record purposes.
Take Care and God Bless! Happy Mylotting!

I'm still deleting useless emails from my mailbox. with big storage, even I still feel the need to organize the emails.
usually I would delete forwarded emails from my mailbox, and also some old reports that are outdated.
no matter how good the inbox searching system in an email provider, sometimes when I read how the messages just being unorganized there, I just can't stand it.
