So I hear the little gmail notifier sound telling me I got mail.. click it.. oh, it's some bs from last.fm.. so I did what I always do.. select it and click mark as read.


But why?

I just realized I don't like deleting messages.. it's like some sort of ocd caused by me thinking I might need to look back at them.. but let's be honest.. of course I'll never have to.

OK.. so, I think I should probably delete my messages from now on.

It does look cleaner after all.

do you guys delete your messages or just let them rot?

Inbox (481)
Spam (627)

I don't even bother marking them as read.

Gmail has so much room.
No need to delete.

I have a thousand in my PM box here, a few hundred in Gmail (not spam, it gets deleted) and 60 or so in the school mail. School mail is limited to 100 emails though :\

I used to have thousands in my inbox because it got too messy for me to bother looking for important ones. Now I have gmail I just click it/mark as read.

OCD has totally lost it's meaning these days.

I hate when I pour a drink and it spills over the top because it leaves a wet patch on the table. ZOMG OCD!! Is there a doctor in the house?

Ahah, true

So I just checked.. 886 messages in my gmail.. but I'll leave those there. I deleted my hotmail messages, though.. didn't catch how many, but it was pretty much just hundreds of facebook stuff that accumulated over 2 years.

There's really no point in deleting anything in my gmail account when I haven't even broke 1% yet.

My PM box is 34% full though, and I can store 10,000 messages. Again, no point in deleting, at least for a while.

[philywilly]

Aha.. all you guys have so many pms.. I think I have 10

[hungryhippo]

i keep them for a while, then i go through a huge purge and delete like 500 at a time

When I get the chance, put mail in designated folder. If it's important then I download the folder and delete the e-mails. Otherwise everything in the trash.
