I recently culled a few of my larger gmail accounts.
This is what it took:
* Connect to Outlook and sync locally
* Sort All Mail by sender
* Delete All Mail per senders that aren't important
It took me a day, and I'm glad I did it. Not that painful. Outlook was a champ through the whole process.
Now I can move somewhere else, which I will.
- jeroenhd 6y agoI'm surprised Outlook held up. In my experience the program starts crapping itself after the first 3-4GiB of emails, and it only gets worse after that. I wouldn't rely on the file remaining intact for long with such a setup...
- jasonv 6y agoIt was Outlook on a Mac. I remember services available 5+ years ago that would help you with this kind of thing (scanning through email archives by sender), but the ones I remember have all morphed into "tame your inbox" apps, which doesn't solve the same problem.
