9875 emails to read, how am i to suppose to read them all!!!!!!!!!

I have been in a similar position before. I sorted all the mails by the sender and deleted all the mails I considered spam. i was left with only a few to read. the exercise did last long.

Yes the filter really helps alot for this kind of problem. With filter you dont need to choose to delete one by one the e-mail you dont want to read from those hundreds or maybe thousand of e-mail. ^_^

Yes most of my emails, are not really worth reading but I have messages also that needs reply that's way it was a bit of a hard time. it took me around half a day to complete cleaning it up. Now I already know how to use filter and it's easy to delete those notifications without even worrying about the messages that I need to read

maybe you must differentian the email only for mylot notification and it doesnt make you confuse like now

I'm sure that 1 month will have reached 1000+ by now But if those emails are not very important to then it would be easy for you to select all and delete. I wasn't able to do that because I had alot of emails coming from friends that i had to reply because it has been a long time sinced I reply to them. Well all is good now and I have already put filters on my email account and hopefully it would do good for me. And now I will regularly open my email account so that this will not happen again

Yes, being in active for a long time really is a pain. It's good that it's finished already, I've have already filtered my emails, which i just learned a few moments ago, and it think i would be able to have a hard time keeping up with my mail have a nice day

The reason is that I was at sea in the past couple of months and hadn't really have the chance to open my emails since then, and I signed up for a an account and it required verification and then I remembered my Email. and i immediately replied to those messages from friends that were overdue. It took me awhile to clean up my Email, and I had no idea of this filter feature of the Yahoomail, but now, i already knowand it's easier to read the important messages now compared to it was before.

aw, I am have no ideas of these filters, can you please teach me on how to do it? that would be very useful,

It seems abtroy had already told about it at response above.. So I guess I have nothing to say now.. Good luck!

Not really sure, it's just that I have been busy for the past months and I wasn't really able to check up on my mail, I just remembered to check it when i registered to this site and it needed email verification, Now that i fixed it I would check my mails often and be able to catch up to my friends abroad.

i have 15,987 emails.. how am I supposed to read it at that time..It's really hard to filter my mails.. Thank God! I'm over with it.. what about filters? what is it all about?

It helps you segregate the emails, you can chose to immediately put emails from a specific person into a folder where it will be stored.

3 days is a long time, you must have alot of mails to read. I was so relieved as well to finish reading everything and replying to important mails. It was hard work, but it was rewarding that I saw may inbox so clean. I have learned something from this experience as well, and thanks to other mylotters I was able to learn a thing or two :) If it will work properly the filters that I made will make it easier for me to segregate my mails and easy to identify the important ones from the useless ones

I guess I'm paying for it now, hopefully by the end of the day i will be able to finish checking and reading and at the same time deleting them all by today :) happy mylotting

ah, cool, should try this vacation mode sounds very convenient. Thanks

Thankyou, I already did filter my email address and it is already working for me. Not very difficult to check which ones I need to read and which ones I can delete directly

Hahaha, goes to show I have no idea how filters are used, i should read more about the stuff. Got to check it out. try this filter thing, thanks

I just finished replying to my friends, and deleting my emails and it's already 0. It was easier than I thought, a few thousands of my messages were not really important to me so it was easy to delete them, but i had plenty messages from friends as well, but i replied to them all already :)

I have a habit of openning my emails regularly before but, because I had to work at sea for a couple of months, openning my email had been the least of my concerns because my primary medium for communication was either calling internationally or through facebook. I just remembered openning my email when i signed up for a site, then email verification was needed and saw how many emails I have. And remembering that I have emails coming from friends i immediately start cleaning up my mail.

I am trying to do that now aswell. so that my mail, I can monitor, and at the same time also monitor my myLot.

Oh, I was thinking of just having 1 email address to focus on, but when you say it that way an email add for the use of merely signing up would be a good idea after all.

most of them are notifications coming from other sites, like facebook and mylot, and some spams really have occupy much of my emails, but it's good that it will automatically go to my spam folder. It was very time consuming, skimming through my inbox, replying to important emails and deleting those unnecessary stuff. It actual made my head hurt and after i was able to finish it all, i went to sleep. Now reading some of the posts here in my discussion i just learned to filter my email. And I think this would be very useful for my emails, but it seem not working because they won't directly go into my folder but still will come out of my inbox. got to learn more about this filter stuff,

it took me some time as well to finish the job. It was very difficult to clean it up because I have alot of facebook and mylot notifications, and not to mention a massive pile of unreplied messages that were overdue. The thought of it still annoys me for being irresponsible not being able to read and delete those messages as early as when I came back home. but I learned a few lessons like filtering my Email which is very useful I must say I wished I have learned about this earlier so that I wouldn't have to deal with so many emails. I got used to communication through facebook alone that during at sea, it was the most effective and fastest way to communicate with others. and I totally forgot about my emails. Now I open my emails twice a day and constantly check on it to not to have this same experience again

Having 2 accounts wouldn't be difficult i guess, and it seems it works for you. Not sure if I would want to make another email though, because i have overused my email not really much i can do with a new email. I guess I'll just have to filter my emails, and open my account often. Have a nice time as well

I too have the same problem yesterday and it made it very difficult to just go and select all and delete, because some of those messages were rather important. but now I am able to use the filter option and hopefully it will be very useful in segregating my messages. I need to study more though because my filters seemed not to be working. but hopefully it will

I already finished everything yesterday, and It sure made me tired, hours passing by and i thought that i would never finish reading all those messages. it was good that I had long hours of using the internet but i wished those time spent, I rather have spent it here in myLot to have a more productive use of my time. But I guess it was my own fault for not being able to read them as early as I got home from the sea.
