clean out my email inboxes

my name is mohame from egypt in giza
quality engineer in a company

i have delete some addresses with double entries. but even there are some addresses i don’t use now.. so i want to delete them… & some mails

the storage is unlimited but those mails making my inbox messy.. so i want to sort them in different folders.. & delete some of them straight away…

i have nearly 3000 unread mails in my rediffmail.. some are forwards.. some are newsletters… i m keeping them as i want to read them… & no.s are increasing… i really want to read them…

now onwards i will read them or directly delete… & i m going to unsubscribe some newsletters..

My main goal is to mark a spot in my inboxes where I am now, and not fall behind. When my life slows down again, I’ll start working through the backlog.

My mega hotmail account is now clean. The inbox has 3 pages of messages (Nov, Dec, things I’m intentionally keeping) and I even cleaned out most of the folders. Now I’m working on yahoo. It has 1143 messages; I’m not sure what it had when I first began the cleaning. One thing annoying about yahoo is that it doesn’t have page tabs so I can’t log in and instantly go to page 7 to work (for example). I have to click next until I reach the page I’m seeking.

Lately, I’ve been working on my mega hotmail account. I’m making progress. I’ve deleted old mail from July-October 2007. I’m down to 97 total messages, 13 new as of now. I think it’d be wise for me to go through the previous month; maybe that will keep my numbers down (e.g., in December, go through and delete all Nov. entries). No, make that two months back. Nov. 25 is too soon for a Dec. 5 clean out. Sometimes, I intentionally hold on to things for a few weeks. The problem is, I don’t go back to delete them. I’m down to 4 pages of messages from something like 17. Progress.

ahhh, now i feel so much better. i found email for people i wish weren’t in there and emails that made me laugh. but i kept all the good ones and deleted the ones i hate. deleted a total of 300 + emails!

It feels so great. I don’t have to dread it everytime I check it now.

My new plan was not to fall farther behind, at least until I have some free time to deal with it again. I was doing well for a few days, but in the last couple days I’ve begun to fail miserably, despite my sincere efforts.

I chose two of my email accounts, and set the maximum at the current levels in each—4500 in one, and 8100 in the other. On the account I use for 43T, I’m only about 12 over, and with just a little more time I could get it back to 4500 without much trouble. But on the other one… Holy Cow, I’m drowning. I have really, really been trying and I’m already over by 42 emails, in just a couple of days. None of them would be quick to file or delete, they’re simply things that have to be read and/or responded to.

Sigh.

or at least forward all your various email boxes into one box. That make it much easier to keep up with. and check at least twice a day, including responding.
