Deleting Emails

I have more than five thousand to date and most of it are not important. Last night, I removed at least 500+. I already deleted perhaps half of the number since it was created in 2004 and those are not part of the current number. I will continue to remove those unnecessary emails and then do it regularly to avoid keeping it up. Do you delete unimportant emails you're receiving immediately?

I always plan to delete them right away but don't and they build up...I am probably getting close to 5000 again.

Same here. I don't know why I let it to build up. I just can't throw a thing immediately.

@ZedSmart I don't know why I let it build up either! Just too much trouble to delete them as they come in I guess lol

@ZedSmart I guess those spam mails are just relentless and there is a tome you get tired already deleting them daily.

Yes l do it too but not on regular basis. That is why emails pile up too. It’s just too easy deleting them for those that send the same topic heading its easier to group delete them.

The problem is I will select it one by one and cannot do the delete all processes because there's are important mails that I think I should keep there.

It's easy for the spam because it will go directly to its folder and then you can do the deleting one time.

Good that you are regularly checking your inbox. Yes, it's better to have it deleted on time to avoid build up.

Not immediately but maybe once or twice a month. It's easier to do that with a laptop than mobile phone.

I used to do that when I had a small memory in the good old days but now with so many GBs I just do not bother

@ZedSmart If you just state the keyword it helps a lot in the search mail option.

The downside is that, if you want to look back some important ones, you need to go through with those unnecessary mails.

At first I let them marinate in my inbox because I can't be bothered. But when I ran out of memory, I have to delete these emails and it took me days to clean my mailbox. Since then I make it a point to delete spam emails and the not important ones regularly.

Yes, it took us time to figure it out and then do it later.

Yes, it's easy to manage when you keep it in low number and removed those unnecessary.

Do you keep those important ones or you still delete them after reading?

That is a lot of emails. I remember several years ago some spammers got hold of my email address and I was getting hundreds of spam emails everyday.

I hate those spam emails. Good thing they go directly to its folder and I delete them instantly without looking where it's coming.

I think Yahoo is not limiting space. Gmail just gives us 25g space if I'm corrrect.

I can relate to what you are going through. I also have hundreds of unimportant emails in my inbox for no reason. It's because I have subscribed to too many sites. Sometimes, I happen to delete the unimportant emails right away or sometimes, I wait for them to accumulate and do a mass-deleting which is quite hectic. I recently decided to review my subscriptions. Whenever an email comes in, I review my need of receiving it. If it's not important, I unsubscribe. By doing this, I receive lesser emails than I used to receive in the past.

Yes, usually those are newsletters. I also unsubscribed most of them and hopefully no more emails coming from them from now on.
