At my work account which is unlimited, I have 28,243 emails (total, not unread lol) as I type....I have no intention of looking through them nor deleting them, since I stuck to work with the email addy, my employer is free to do whatever they want with them when I leave one day.I think as humans we are horders, like rodents we will eat ourselves to death if given the chance.
My wife and I have been throwing stuff out for a while now but the big dump was right before we moved into a new home.
Think about it. As you get older what kids will want to go through 1000s of photos/videos and all the other electronic junk we have.
I have a goal for my thousands of photos which I am getting better at deleting now. My goal is to delate most all of them someday and print out maybe 12 select photos from every year if that.
We use many free accounts, seem to like outlook the best but also Proton mail I have one paid account. I also pay $1 a month for additional space on Apple. I have dont really have a main account, I have about 10... working on that to get to maybe 3 plus my wife's.
You are right. Imagine when I moved into my house I was alone. 3 mos later I adopted a black lab puppy. We played catch in the basement. Today, the basement and attic are full. I have often thought about how more comes in, than goes out. Would the house one day implode as a result? Ditto with electronic stuff. I realized it's not really possible to save all my dash cam videos, they are 650 mb each for 3 min. at the front. The rear are 250 mb. Doesn't even matter how many TB a drive is, it's unmanageable and more practical to overwrite...
