The only benefit listed here is "the mysteriously wonderful feeling." More often I get the "slowly sinking feeling" of having deleted an important email.
Storage is so cheap now that saving thousands of messages is not really a big deal, and it's often useful to be able to search through everything you've written or received.
- helmut_hed 16y agoPresumably the OP is suggesting that one's inbox be of zero length, not that you actually delete the message... File emails you wish to retain in a suitable folder - they'll be waiting for you when you need them.
- mcknz 16y agoyes, but you still need to make a decision to file/delete. If I don't immediately know what do to with an email I just let it sit there or I flag it. Nothing wrong with zero inbox, but if it makes you spend too much time agonizing over every email, it's not really helping.
