And one great enhancemen...I have 2 Gmail accounts. And one great enhancement this past year is you don't have to log out of one to go others, you can just switch back & forth. <br /><br />The one that I consider my "personal" account is for friends and family, some scrapbook things I'm subscribed to, and Facebook emails. That has 6,926 emails.<br /><br />The "business" account for all the bank & utility statements, all my order receipts (I shop ALOT online), all the ads from said shopping places, and some acquaintances, has 15,998! <br /><br />There are no unread ones. I'm fairly anal about needing to be up to date in that respect, but most of the time that involves scanning up and down, only clicking on a few important ones, then hitting "selecting all" and choosing "mark as read". Although when I'm reading on the iPad I just quickly tap on each one on the list and to the right I get a quick flash of the content so if something catches my fancy I can stay on it. <br /><br />I have a few folders & labels set up, but never use them. I don't want to spend my already busy time deleting and moving things into folders. I do enough organizing and cleaning up at home. Gmail's searching is so awesome, there's really no need to organize anything. And my bigger account is only using 9% of my available space. So yes it's populated with alot of ads and expired offers, but that doesn't interfere with what I need to do. I just looked, my oldest emails are from Jan 2006. I wish Gmail had existed 15 yrs ago when I met my hubby. Would love to have all the messages we sent each other back then. (we met online thru college "intranet" that was the pre-curser to the WWW.<br /><br />Hey look, I'm replying to a blog post in real time!

Finally got another email address opened last night 898 in that one alone.......plus I have 2 I check everyday and keep up with, 1 other one I check weekly or biweekly, and one more I havent gotten into yet since hubby rebuilt the computer.....I am sure that one is well over 1000 alone!!! Yeah....I am not a fond person of emails sometimes.

The oldest email in that in box is only 22 hours old. <br /><br />I'm completely anal when it comes to email and try to clear the inbox every 24-48 hours. I don't keep email unless it's business related or has a recipe I want to keep or something like that- and yes I have folders for that stuff.<br /><br />Im a double deleter too...so once they're dealt with they're gone. I get a ton of email at home every day (probably about 150 or so)and it's a huge challenge to keep up with it all.Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032969125788408807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-52910636537514656222011-10-13T11:54:10.528-06:002011-10-13T11:54:10.528-06:00Oh, this is embarrassing... 1265 (58 unread) in m...Oh, this is embarrassing... 1265 (58 unread) in my home Outlook inbox. My Gmail inbox has 4325. Can you tell I don't like cleaning? <br /><br />I can't bring myself to delete the ones from my mom going back to '07 (sending her recipe for Orange Date Nut Cake!), but it's hard to go back and read through them. Maybe someone knows how to batch archive them to a text document so I can clean out that Inbox subfolder?Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181665241824945247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-39830222994604048892011-10-13T10:50:25.822-06:002011-10-13T10:50:25.822-06:00I tend to save e-mails, but not in my in-box - I h...I tend to save e-mails, but not in my in-box - I have a bunch of separate boxes set up so that I can find something in a hurry if I need to. Once I've finished dealing with an e-mail, I move it to it's appropriate box (or delete it if it's not worth saving.) That way I keep my inbox down to a manageable level, with only things that need to be taken care of in it! (And yes, that's my home e-mail - no work e-mail for me these days!)Sarah Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393284767325742399noreply@blogger.com
