Deleting Email Without Reading

I use a program that sends my mail directly to folders I've made to keep my e-mail organized (works along the same line as e-mail filters but faster). 99% of my mail never makes it into my inbox. So I can tell at a glance what e-mail has been received and the general topic. I have one folder just for myLot notifications. Notifications go straight to the folder and wait for me until I have time to myLot. They don't get in the way of anything. I have another folder that is strictly for important business. As soon as I see that has something in it, I know to check it. The only mail that ever makes it to my inbox is mail that is from something I recently joined and haven't created a folder for yet or mail that doesn't fit any specific category. I generally open my spam folder and read over the subject and sender of every e-mail in the spam folder. Sometimes real mail makes its way there. Otherwise these I delete without reading.

Same with me, friend. I delete those spam message without reading it. But those email on inbox I need to read them because they paid email send to me.

Chiwa, it is depending on situation and the time that i have got in hand. If i have got the free time, i would prefer to read through every email before deleting them. But, if i don't have the time then i will scan the title and delete them off completely. As for those that appeared in the junk email area, i would usually prefer to delete them off straight away. As for the scam email, i would delete it off without reading it since it is no use to read it.

I don't read all of my emails. If I don't recognize where it's from I don't open it because a lot of times some of those have virus in them which can be a pain to get ride of.

Yes, I do delete also some emails without reading it. There are many emails to me that were spam. It is really very annoying because there is a possibility not to read very important emails sent to me. I have one yahoo account and several Gmail accounts. My Gmail accounts were used also for business purposes and other important matters.

I have one site I do this with which is okay, because I am on that site anyways. I have thought about turning off my notifications on that site, because I comment on everything on my home page. From the home page, I normally read everything that is new, so it is very rarely I miss something from that site. It's one of my favorite sites too. I try to read the majority of my emails though, I don't want to miss anything important. I do at least look at what I am deleting.

I currently have 183,561 emails in my gmail. No, that is not a typo!! And you know how gmail puts like emails together, so some of those emails contain up to 60 emails inside of them. I have a really bad habit of it getting to be midnight and I find myself scrolling through everything from day in an attempt to not miss something important. I do get more emails in a day than what I could ever get through even if I did nothing else but work in email from the time I got up in the morning until I go to bed at night. Marsha

I have done a lot of deleting emails without reading, especially those that are considered to be spam mails creeping in my inbox. I have five email accounts: Hotmail, Iwon Email, Gmail and two Yahoo Mail account-- one regular Yahoo and AT&T Yahoo. I usually would make folders to emails that are very important to keep as archives and delete the ones that are unimportant. I would definitely spam or delete emails that I have no intention to neither read nor keep in folders.

That is want I often do with my yahoo mails as well as my gmail. I really do not mind them most especially that I do have a professional email account that comes along with my website host. I only give this email to those that I have business transactions and friends. So most often the emails I got there needs to be read. Other than that, those emails on my yahoo and gmail are mostly offerings from affiliate marketing and stuff related to those.

Hello I also do the same always. I used to open my yahoo mail once in a day.. And all time I used to get so many useless mails. I delete them instantly without opening them. As I am using it daily, I can easily differentiate the mails which are important and which are not. So mails which are important to me I keep them and read, all other mails directly goes to the trash box.

I do this on a regular basis as well because some mail not important. Next I had to cancel many unnecessary items. And read the mail as important only such as mail from my lot.

i've noticed that with the new yahoo, the spam goes directly to the spam folder which is great. i created a hotmail account just for mylot to separate it from my yahoo email. that way, i don't have to check it all the time. however, i always read the digest and the notifications from mylot admin about deleted posts. i only turned on notifiers for friends who start very few discussions, but i like to follow. if you don't want emails from mylot clogging your inbox, why not update your preferences, then turn off all your friends notifiers?

sure. I just read email in my contact list

I usually delete Facebook notifications and other stuffs that is not important. But I'm marking them first because I don't want to accidentally delete important emails. I'm also deleting spams without reading them.

I am forever deleting emails that do not mean anything to me.I feel that I get enough junk in my post, without it being on my emails as well. I will say that I get loads of spam emails and they amount to about 10 a day and the rest are things that I am not interested in.

When I start deleting emails without reading them, that is when I know I need to unsubscribe from receiving the emails. That way my email inbox won't be filled with unwanted emails. Once I've unsubscribed, then my inbox will not be so full of unwanted and unread emails.

I usually delete emails i don't need, but most of the time, I leave a lot of stuff in my inbox.

I usually delete those spam mails right away. Notifs from Mylot, I never delete them. It is my way of commenting back to a response made the one who posted a discussion that I have responded to. It makes it easier for me to get back on each of them.

Hi.. I do this too but i would check the subject if its not important then I will not open and will delete it otherwise I open and read it because I should never mistake and important mail for a notification one and can not just delete it as such.
