It's not that easy. I have 15 years of emails, including deeply personal stuff. I've deleted all the unread mailing lists. I've deleted the big files. I've gone through numerous social and advertising emails and mass-deleted. Yet I'm stuck on like 14.98 Gb and every time I hit the threshold, Gmail starts bugging me to do more. How can I even tell if I have that much email? They could just be saying "oh, you have 14.98Gb".

- sneak 6y agoIf you have deeply personal stuff in your email box, you shouldn't be storing it unencrypted in gmail forever where they can give it to the state on demand without a warrant at any time.
