cleaning out two email accounts. In my school email account, I had unread email going back to February of 2008. I had 1,500 messages total. No, I didn't read most of it, but I did make a quick scan to make sure I wasn't deleting something important. My gmail account has 6,000 messages in it, but I only delete the absolute spam, because the search works so well. I did, however, have over 300 unread messages in gmail. I didn't even get to the hotmail account.
So, how many neglect keeping their email tidy?
