Now to finish cleaning the email without counting.

    this sort of decluttering is a great idea!

    out of all these emails – how many did you decide to keep?
    what is your criteria you consider before you decide to keep them?

    (I found you because of a blog award I was nominated for a long time ago – I just NOW found out about it!- oops!)

      Those were all ones I removed! It ended up being few I kept. I read them and then deleted. If I haven’t needed it in several years, I don’t need to keep it. Some were bill related but now do much can be found online.

    Wow, Barb!! That’s an impressive number of emails!! I just get sick of looking at them after about 2-3 weeks and delete. I usually never have anything vitally important, anyway. And if I do realize it was, I go fish it out of the trash, which I seldom remember to empty! lol

      I thought I was pretty up to date. Some were from 2012! Guess up to date is relative!
