I've been wondering why my browser, and particularly my email have been really slow. So I started going through and emptying caches and trash cans. When I got to the email and hit empty, it asked, "Are you sure you want to delete 2,141 conversations?" And keep in mind many of those conversations have several emails. I said yes, I think I really do.

I'm not positive things are going faster, but I think they are. In any case, I'm sure it was good for my soul to dump that much trash!

Hi, That is one reason why I have stuck to hotmail. The stuff stays on their server. With the expanded service I have there are well over 10,000 items on it. I do lots of diy assists and such so I need to keep stuff for years as references. Another thing is that if your personal PC crashes or gets hacked the mail is safe. Folks that say that the stuff on the could is subject to being spied upon miss the picture.....as current news indicates, everything is subject to being spied upon.

Good Listening

It doesn't hurt to clear things out like that because it can help your PC performance. For those who do work though, like Gofar, you do want to save some of it somehow for reference. If not in your mailbox then somewhere else.

I'm a Gmail fan, personally. I don't like using email addresses that are dependent on my provider or store emails on my computer. My husband uses the provider's email and he just had to change it because we changed providers.
