I am going to the beach with my sister, my niece, a four-yr
old, a one-year old, and an 88-yr old. Been looking forward to this since last year when we went last year. We've bought the food, I've done the laundry and packed my suitcase, paid the bills, had my hair cut and a pedicure. I'm ready to rock and roll. But...I decided it was time to clear out my hotmail account and I have over 5000 e-mails! This is taking forever. Why didn't I just do it daily, huh? Is there such a thing as an e-mail hoarder? Scheesh...

I have done that but not quite that many. I would think that anything older than 3 months you should just blow away without consideration. Sort by date and just delete them.

They'll wait until you get back from the beach. The last time I cleaned out my email it was around 50,000. <shrug>

I read & delete mine daily, I guess it's a habit I developed from work. 90% of mine are junk anyway.

I get rid of them as fast as I can, but I know people who save EVERY SINGLE ONE.
