I don't have anyone to do anything after I'm gone, so I just delete the emails myself. I do keep the notable ones, like registration information and some payment receipts but otherwise everything goes to the trash.
Bonus points:
I don't need 30/50/100Gb mailbox (and the associated mailbox cost nowadays).
Search is not only fast but if I didn't found something - then there is nothing of this something in the mailbox.
I't mentally pleasurable to log in once in a while and throw a bunch of unneeded stuff into the trash bin, quite similar to a real life room cleaning.
- ghaff 2y agoFortunately Gmail tabs go a lot of the way to letting you mass delete junk you don’t care about. Assuming you do even a modicum of labeling stuff you might like to refer to or act on, deleting at least older promotions and updates eliminates a lot of things.
- justsomehnguy 2y agoDidn't use GMail for years but the labels were not quite up to the task. Thankfully FastMail interface makes 'search from this address' and 'search to this address' (I'm using per-service addresses) and then 'select all', 'delete' actions a breeze.
