I don’t care for clutter, even if it’s virtual. I have 5 email accounts. One for family. One for newsletters. One to email questions to & I don’t want my real name out there. Then 2 extras. I’m quite careful about deleting emails as I don’t want to miss an important one in there. I like that most mail services have folders you can put emails into.
I probably should, but I don’t. I’ve got a number of different emails and they’ve all got the one inbox folder with thousands of unread messages in them.
I organize my email accounts! There is one I mostly use for Forums only, but chose to use it for something my daughter was doing and she then I realized that she didn't know it was me. oops LOL
I like to make folders in my email accounts when necessary and I always delete spam asap.
I delete every single email message that comes through eventually. I mostly get stuff I've signed up for in the past that I no longer care about. If I need to keep something for some reason, I will just archive the message so it won't pop up in my actual inbox. I have three different Gmail accounts, for the record.
I stopped managing things on my gmail account for a long while and now it's outlandish, so I gave up trying with that one, but my others I keep zeroed. It makes me feel good getting back to zero again. I also use SimpleLogin a lot so I can give random emails on some sites and have them forward to my actual emails, just a bit of a safer thing to do. Protects you from bad things should a company have their database stolen/hacked.
No point I get enough newsletters and random rubbish to my inbox that I only read the important emails and let the rest just go down till the nothingness world.
If you're getting too much emails, it's better to have them properly organised. It's why I don't use one email. I have a personal email for personal reasons and work emails for work purposes.
I am very dedicated to keeping my emails in order. I currently have 3 personal emails (my main Outlook, a Gmail due to my phone, and an ancient unused one), 1 business email, and 2 work emails (one for each job).
Email organization has always been a priority of mine over the years. I hate going into my inbox and seeing 1k+ unread emails. However, I will say in the last few years I have been getting more lazy with it. I try to clean the clutter once every 6 months or so, sometimes more frequently.
My mail app does the job of organizing everything. I don't have the time to stay trying to organize emails. It is a bit of a huge task for me given that I am always busy.
