No hyperbole, well north of 20k at this point. Good news, once I finish this swap to Linux, I'll just nuke all things Gee and motherfuck a refund.
Way to go friend! Proud of you!

I had 4.902 emails from subscribed and unsubscribed websites/services, and I took the chance to delete most of them today. I ended up deleting 4.288 emails, leaving me with 614.
The most emails where from Sobeys, Cineplex, Doctor Who, IMDB and Microsoft, which I unsubscribed for good. I have 3 emails, a personal, outlook(image) more generic and gmail for spams and deals.
I'm really interested to know how others manage their bulk emails.
GG.
I never delete anything, although I did forward all my emails from Gmail to Proton and delete them off Gmail.
Everything is marked as read too although tbh I do that in large batches of a few thousand in one go. I'm very bad at checking my emails.
I'm not really a data hoarder - I just can't be arsed to go through them and delete them, plus very occasionally it's been very helpful to find an random email from years ago. I'm also pretty good at not subscribing to marketing emails etc and unsubscribing if I do (eventually...)
I didn't even go through for most of them, I just deleted bulk, who had the most emails.
Good on ya, that's an awful lot of work. I did something similar years ago with 2,000 emails and it took forever.
The thing to do now is stay on top of the emails coming in and unsubscribe or block any that remain. If you can stem the flow you won't need to purge again.
Yes, I will monitor every email from now on.
