So I knew back in December that once I graduated I would have about 6 months to clear out my Messiah email account and make sure everything I wanted was either moved to another email account or deleted. Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and soon enough 5 months had passed. Now I know everyone handles their email accounts differently but I personally tend to keep A LOT of emails around. Whether I need them or not they tend to pile up. Some I just want because they mean something to me, some I want because I can use them for something later, and then some just never get deleted because I forget to do so.
Well when April rolled around I probably had a couple thousand emails in my inbox from the last 5 years. Little by little I began to chip away at them. One night I was able to eliminate or move an entire years worth of emails. Eventually I had gotten down to two years worth of emails. I found it extremely fun to look through old emails and relive stories, time periods, and friendships that I had collected emails from over the years. Every now and then Id stumble upon a gem of an email that I was glad I hadnt deleted but at the same time had forgotten about.
I can proudly say that today my email account is void of all emails except emails that I have received or sent from a few special people. Its amazing how much work it can be to simply remove hundreds of emails without losing the important stuff as well.
The only question is....Did you send me an email or several emails that got rescued? :)
