Do you guys keep ALL the sponsors e-mails?
 

Damn, I just started cleanning my Outlook Inbox, and I didn't even realize: I have over 2000 e-mails, with over 1k unread!

I'm creating 1 folder to each sponsor I have to make thing easier, after that I'm reading alll e-mails and hopefully deleting over 1500 of them!

I guess I'll spend my whole night in this task, huh?

:(

Hahahahahaha... I have some Content Lotto e-mails from 2003!!!

I have a habit of keeping all emails from now to years and years ago.
I just put them on disk.

Yeah I am an email packrat!

Yep, I store them all.


the more important ones get posted on http://www.businessvoyeur.com/

no way, I think I read less than 5% of them, the rest get deleted immediately

I've got to start doing that...

Hell no..if I did I would never have enough time to read them all again

Many people are freaked (wishful thinking, maybe) by my level organization, but I am sure that is merely because I have recorded their words since 1999 (a powerful tool, being able to call someone on their bullshit/hypocrisy)

E-mail (spam / unsolicited, junk and marketing mail excluded) is no different than physical/letter mail - includes instant messages (ICQ, MSN, yadda-yadda)

I provide support for all webmasters, all pay site members, sales (in and out), etc and I feel retaining ALL valid e-mail is simply the proper thing to do.

Since 1999:
- I've kept all e-mail (never archived).
- I've created a specific folder for all aspects of our industry (each sponsor, each billing systems - includes sales notification and different join values - vendors - content, ISP, software and so on) as well our mainstream divisions.
- I've set rules for all e-mail (direct mail to the proper folder, spam listed as ADULT or JUNK).
- One thousand-e-mail received per day (average) - none are left unread.
- I have a dedicated drive to this alone (all e-mail received are converted to plain text prior to my opening ? I can not stand, nor do I appreciate HTML format e-mail.)
- If I have ever communication with you, you already have a special place in my Outlook.

Before joining the cyber-age, I've known the importance to maintaining a proper file system (you know, hardcopy ... paper ... file cabinets). I guess that is part of the reason why I do not find spam a problem ? 90 some-odd percentage of spam sent to me ends up in the JUNK folder. (Oh, if you have horrid e-mail skills, such as no text in subject line or message written in subject line, you are considered junk, after one warning)

(I think the FLASHCA$H newsletters are worth saving)

:)

i've always kept mine..thinking i may have to look back at it someday..

Man, you are probably the guy that sends the most e-mails to me!!

I just deleted around 50 of your e-mails or so...

I know have "only" 336 e-mails on my inbox. 83 unread.

I'm too tired to finish this today. I'll keep it up in the morning.

No, i delete sponsor emails once I read them, usually they are full of useless crap anyhow.

i always make sure i organize all my emails on different folders..

who knows..i might need it in the future.

this thread wouldn't be complete without a pic of Skufty's balls

Skufty can suck my salty balls.

I have emails going back 3 years. We keep most of em. Outlook is great for this. Export to PST - dump from main mail box. Back up the PST - open again in years to come to read back - if one deserieth this.

Nah. I dump em in a folder. 30 days, and if I haven't read it by then, auto deletes.

:pimp

if u mean the sponsors news sites announcements etc i skimm them and delete them
