No one weird trick, just the obvious. Don't sign up for too much, strictly limit your inbox to one page, delete or handle+archive as necessary to achieve that.

No one weird trick, just the obvious. Don't sign up for too much, strictly limit your inbox to one page, delete or handle+archive as necessary to achieve that. I've been using Gmail since 2004 and am currently using 0.54 GB of my 15 GB quota; I've never regretted deleting anything later. When you say "so much junk", are you talking about spam that Gmail isn't catching? Or just legitimate mail you don't find very interesting?
