Amateur. Girlfriend’s dad has over 1m. Yahoo actually cut him off, he went over the quota.

The terrifying part is once you get to that point, there are no tools to prune it effectively.

It’s called getting a new email address and calling the old inbox your past life.

But what about that one time I needed to remind myself of an email from five years ago????

It would be quite rude to delete emails from the prince of Nigeria himself too

I actually do that. Old emails with friends or eBay receipts. eBay deletes your purchase history after a few years for some reason.

Why do you need a receipt from eBay after 5 years? You got the shit, now pretend it never happened like any other shady deal.

Because I wanted to buy a second monitor from that company that buys display panels with dead pixels, cases them and sells them for well below MSRP of the name brands.
