        At that point it’s an archeological site, not an inbox. I’d almost hate to delete stuff pre-2000 just because it’s a bit of a time capsule into a different era.

        I can only load and select 100 at a time. Every year or so I attempt to tackle it but it’s a sisyphus task.

          If you create a rule for a specific email address, you can send it all into a folder, then mark the folder as read. Or, you know, just send all to junk

      I try to check my mail every day and delete all that are not necessary to keep. I have rarely failed so miserably at anything else.

      I was helping a lady whose data limit was an inch away from being reached and it was all emails. She must have had 200k unread alone.

        If she read an email every 15 seconds on average to determine whether it needs to be kept or deleted, it would take her 34 days NON STOP to get through that list of unreads… gotta just nuke and start over
