And I'm saying that it costs more than nothing to keep your email.
Someone's paying for it, but it's not me. At least, I get the same amount of email regardless of how much I delete, and I've never come close to hitting the limit.
Goddammit, you're not listening to me. Having old email lying around just plain gets in the way. I've listed a few emails that there is absolutely no reason to keep longer than the time it takes to read it, but here are some more.Alerts of a new reply to thread on whatever site.
Advertisements (okay to keep them until the sale period runs out, but if you're never going to to take advantage of it, why keep it?)
Basically any kind of notification. "blakeyrat has invited you to the event 'help me sort through all my old junk'"
I used to think like you, but that was before GMail, where it is always easier to do nothing, than it is to make a decision, even if it's quite obvious that I will never need that email.
Can't we just all disagree on this one?
For smaller inboxes, the matter is different.
