I'm Sorry...

I have not been around on mylot that long yet so don't receive that many but if I went away and then came home to literally loads of emails I would go through them one by one even if it took me ages! Ifind that I have loads anyway as some days am away from my emails for two or three days anyway and then come back to quite a lot! I think if I knew that it might take me too long and I'd never get through them I would just turn alerts off whilst I was away but then I'd miss loads of good discussions! x

I remember a few months ago... i got like 1000 emails in my inbox... it was spam mail from a supposed to be group in yahoo... but it was like a hoax... since the group never existed at all... so it took me a lot of time to delete them... and sort them from my mylot and friends' email... and i certainly learned my lesson... not to join any group... unless i am familiar with its authenticity...

When I had this brief job a couple of months ago, I was gone from MyLot for three weeks. Then when I got fired, it still took me another two weeks to get back into the groove of things. When I finally started back to posting, there was about 3000 discussions that I had to sort through, answer, then delete in my e-mail. I did at least view each one, and then make the decision whether to answer or not. With new discussions everyday, it took me about a month to finally get the entire backlog out of my e-mail, and that was just last week that I did it!!! Good luck to you Skinny, and don't feel pressed to answer a discussion just because you were late in getting to it. Only answer the discussions that you are interested in.

I went without the internet for 3 weeks due to problems with the computer and the internet provider.. I did check my mail at my sisters house a couple of times and deleted most of the junk mail, but when I did get back online, I had 999 emails.. I went through and deleted all of the spam mail, which was no more than about 25 emails, then I read my neighbor's jokes and emails.. Then I started on the Mylot emails, which by then was about 900.. I did delete quite a few of them because there was no possible way to answer all of them.. I did although, answer about 200 emails before I gave it up and deleted all of them.. I was getting more and more emails so that for every 10 I did respond to, I received another 3 or 4 in my mail box, so I was not able to catch them all up.. I did try to respond to at least one of each person's email.. It can get to be overwhelming to say the least..
