Boring time…

Last night, I was up until around 4am, sorting through the last 15 years or so of my GMail, over 3600 emails all mixed together…

I found about 2100 of those emails were spam, reported and deleted of course. Then I spent the time to categorize the remaining valid ~1500 emails into sorted categories, mostly sorted by the site it pertains to.

It took over 4 hours…

Fun fun right? But I got it done!

      Ehh, that amount over 15 years is nothing. I just think about how much I get from legit sources (bank, utilities, insurance, steam forums, etc). I’ve be way over that amount in just a few years. The amount of true spam I get is very small. I mean like less than 20 a month small. And I use Gmail. I know that over 15 years that would still be several thousand but I should also point out that’s what’s in my spam folder. The amount of spam that makes it to my inbox is <1 month. I couldn’t even calculate it because idk the last time I saw one.
