Yahoo has jacked up their email service with a new look and mailbox sizes of 100 megabytes. For years I've been finesing my mailbox, trying to keep the size down below the 6 meg threshold. It was a constant struggle. But it was healthy because I had to constantly go in and pare down my inbox, throw away old junk and generally keep up to date.

Now I won't need to do that until I amass 100 megs of emails, which could be a long time. But by that time, I will have so much email it will be an overwhelming gargantuan task. On the other hand, it's going to be awhile before messages people send me get bounced for lack of space.

I don't even know why I keep most of the crap I do. It must be some sick sentimentality, but when will I ever get a chance to reread it?

i do the same darn thing. at any given minute there's probably a good 1000 messages sitting in my inbox after having been read. they're just waiting for me to hit the delete button. and yeah, i'm likely not going to read them again but once in awhile i do look back. it's all about feeling connected for me. i've binded all my personal letters over the years since i can ever remember. that's different for sure though. there's something wonderful about a hand written letter that has gotten lost in our email world. saved messages in an inbox are the best we can hope for these days.
