Do you delete your e-mail/PMs/old files?
I don't know about you all but in the era of 1GB e-mail accounts and huge hard drives, I'm pretty hard-pressed to delete much of anything.
My school e-mail account is at 80% capacity because I still have e-mails from professors from freshman year. I have e-mails from high school still in my Yahoo account. I have never deleted a PM on 2+2. It can't really be called 'wasteful', because you're not actually wasting anything. If I needed the space, I'd start deleting stuff. Every so often, though, I'll go back and look up some old information and be very glad that I kept it. Of course, I know some people have 0 messages in their inbox at all times. Discuss. |

Not only do I not delete anything, but I use my gmail account as a todo list and storage for important info I don't want to lose. I have a bunch of folders and actions set up for different tags on my subjects. It's awesome-o.

I'm with you. I hardly ever delete anything unless I run out of space. Then I sort by biggest files and delete the larger ones that I don't think I'll need.

Same - I've had email for over 15 years and still have every nonspam one I've ever received.

I delete everything except the truly important stuff.
I hate clutter. I also get a ton of notifications and CC: emails that I actually don't need. Damned IT industry. I get like 300 emails a day. It blows moose penis. |

I still have the PMs from the old-school BBSs before I even had real internet access.

When I worked on web development at one of those booming dot-coms, someone would send out an e-mail to all of the developers saying "Update is live. please check your files." Someone would then reply to the site updates guy with "Thank you for doing this in a timely manner. How did last weekend go?" Lo and behold, thus begins an entire discussion thread that you couldn't care less about. (I even kept those e-mails!) |
