How often do you clean up your emails?

I find that i have well over 100 emails aday with out fail so yes i do tend to clean up all my emails i do tend to keep checking my inbox as well as deleting the ones i do not want.So yes every day i should say about half of my emails i now delete with out giving it a second thought.I also do surveys that pays in vouchers but the way i look at it is that every little helps no matter how little.Happy Mylotting.

I make a point of clearing up my emails daily, that way I can keep on top of them, so I aim to get an empty inbox by the time I close down my computer and go to bed. That way nothing is pending or left. I still have to mark a lot of emails spam that come into box on a daily basis. Sometimes I can be lazy instead of going into the site to delete my account or change my email preferences I just mark spam and forget about it! The spam button is too much of a temptation but a great asset to have!

I delete some daily, but I still have tons of them that go back awhile. I was on another site that actually overwhelmed my MyLot notifications.I also have folders for the things I think I need to keep. I did not do much with surveys, but have a lot of those that come up now and again. Supposedly they pay, but they always disqualify me, so they get my demographics, but do not let me take the survey or earn the money. I have some other things that I have supposedly deleted, or unsubscribed, but they keep on contacting me. I will get to the bottom of the pile eventually.

Oh thanks nancyrowina, you've just reminded me to empty my delete box. I delete emails every day as i don't want personal ones lost among all this mylot stuff. With mylot email alerts I'll open them if new discussions coming in but if it's a massive list of 10 from someone I just delete the lot and will see them in friends started instead. I delete emails as soon as I've seen them unless it's a friend I keep in touch with then I'll save them.

Hi nancyrowina, I always check my e-mail. Sometimes 3-4 times a day. Most of my e-mail are from a internet marketer since I download a few free e-book from them. There is also notification e-mail from myLot once someone give a response to my discussion or comment that I received from my responses. Usually I deleted all that e-mail except some that I think I can used it in future. Previously, when I didn't open my e-mail for a week, I got a lot of e-mail and I need days to clean it up. I only read some of that e-mail and the rest I just deleted it straight away. Happy mylotting and have a nice day.

i NEVER delete emails and i don't know why. I have so many in my inbox, like about 600 from just a little over a few minutes.

Nancyrowina, I got turned off by paid surveys too! some of them are not true, just a waste of time. When it comes to my mail I clean it everytime I open it. From the time I open my mails, I segregate the received mails to different folders before I read it. I delete useless mails and delete my spams also. I even delete permanently my trash to avoid some virus crawling to my mails ( I am not sure if virus can crawl hehehehe). After segregating and cleaning,that is the only time I read my mails and respond to it.

I delete unwanted emails as I read them. My friend, on the other hand, has over 2000 unopened emails in her inbox alone, and countless more opened ones. Then there's the spam folder. Every once in a while I go in and delete a bunch for her, but it would take me all day to really clean it up.

I use the Gmail filters so the keepers get archived and I don't really delete them until the space starts getting filled up, except for those that I have no reason to keep and those are filtered to self-destruct. I don't have to look at them at all. If it is like a paid survey it goes into a special folder and when I open it I "select" all of them and then uncheck the ones I want to keep. Those I delete after completing the survey. I don't bother with the ones that only "pay" in sweepstakes, but some of the gift voucher ones are OK with me, especially if it is Amazon.com, in fact I just cashed in on one of those--I used it to buy a magnetic spice rack for the side of the fridge. It was a nice one, too :-)

I try and take time every day to clean up my e-mail! I also first I delete my mail in my spam box. Then I go to my regular inbox and clear that up.I always get a few spam e-mails in my mail box,which I hate! Then I delete some of e-mails I got the day before.I still have tons of e-mails that have jokes in them or funny/human interst stories that I can't get rid of! This is what I do!

I am a cleanliness freak when it comes to rooms,desks and even when it comes to my email accounts.LOL I am very organized.So I have some standard folders .Any "Alertpay/Paypal" related mails that are important go in one folder, all "payments from site" emails go in another folder, so on and so forth. Apart from that I look at the notifications and delete them all at once. I like to keep my email Inbox and even the Trash folder clean..

At least once per day i log into my email and go through anything new in my inbox. The first thing i do is go thruogh and check to delete anything that i am not even vaguely interested in reading. I sign up for a lot of freebies and samples and stuff online, so i get tons and tons of smap email from them. Every so often when i have extra time, i go through and carefully select the ones that email me the most and add them to my spam filter, so i never even have to look at them again. After deleting all the junk mail, i go through, reading them all, and deleteing anythign that does not require further action at a later time, and filing anything that is important(such as the statements i get form my health insurance every time a claim is put through, etc..) in a file labeled "important stuff", so that they don't sit around and clutter up my inbox. I like to have it totally empty at least once per day. But maybe i am just overly obsessed with it lol

I have three mail accounts. The first is used to signup for Mylot, Inboxdollars, etc..The second is for work related things & the final one is for registering games & all other "junk". It is also a habit of mine to read as many mails as possible, but with the junk mail account, I just check who the sender is & then decide if I want to read it or just delete it.

almost everyday.. ill check emails, and friends update,, its quite irritating most like if i do have 200 mails in just 24 hours.. its like kind of weird for me,.. and to lazy to read and delete.. help..

I try to clean it up to get it below 300 once a week. However I try my best to clean it out completely once a month. Its just so much junk mail I can't stand it. I have to go too a bunch of sites and delete notifications to. I really have to get this done.

i do periodic clean ups on my e mail, i do removed my bulks around 3 to 4 times a week and sometimes i may leave them for more than week, i have around 4 or 5 email addresses and try as much as possible to read all of them everyday, so i do delete those i don't need periodically

i seldom cleanup my yahoo email. it is too much, and is a bit out of my control... so i think is a waste of time for me to cleanup. i just read the email that i know the originator. others just ignore.

I always delete some unneccessary emails when I fi ish reading it. I hate trunk emails, so I try to delete as many as I can.

Recently when i register on some websites and i found that i have the same problem as you . Many many emails pour into my box and i have to delete one by one . Well luckily i do have time to check my email during a day . So when i am reading news on internet i will delete the emails at the same time.

I've made it a habit of having two email addresses. The first is where people I know and things I really, really care about go to and the second is where I sign up for websites where I will most likely be getting a lot of email with. The email address I have for friends, family, and emails I find very important I always clean out. The other email, however, I never clean. There are thousands of messages in there because of the fact I just skim through, see what I need once or twice a day, and ignore the rest. It works out good for me and I would suggest everyone else do it too.
