    Just cull everything from 10,000 back, thats my method on the few occasions I've ever bothered, are you ever gonna need an email from that long ago?

      are you ever gonna need an email from that long ago?

      potentially yes, seeing as I just recently recovered an old account I'd forgotten every relevant detail for by being able to go through emails from 2007 and find the original plain-text email (mfw) they sent verifying what I set my questions/answers as.

      this is why I'm in the situation I'm in to begin with. I am a natural data hoarder -- it takes me 30 minutes to decide what torrented game I haven't played in 2+ years I'm going to remove from my SSD to clear up some much needed space. God forbid this habit ever translates out into the physical world because I will drown in books or some shit

        Luckily while I do hoard a bit in the physical world, it's not as bad. Having space to live in still comes first.

        Edit: actually getting closer to the original topic, I hoard physical mail that seems at least somewhat important. It's a lot harder than hoarding email.
