I've got virtually all of my Email going back to 1996... Not just backed up somewhere but live in my Email client...

I should probably delete most of it too...

Is there an article, or are you just exasperated?

@DB
I had the sheer fortune to be outside sales for a good portion of my life... Always headed to a route or a site... And trying to rely on sync w/o MS server and Exchange was a nightmare... So I became very adept at schlepping my profile and critical files with dir sync software 'tween my whip desktop and my laptop.  Considering how awful that is with giant data piles, I also became quite adept at archving my emails and faxes - An outlook .pst or four is murder to move that way... Unless they are made little.

I still have it all too - going back all the way to the Great Root Beer Disaster of '98... But it is all over in Deep Blue in neat quarterly archival increments. And my onboard email is around 700 megs at the moment.

I read this and thought it was about Hillary Clinton's emails.

I spent way too many years under govt policies of no personal email account access at work. So I'd send myself emails of interesting links and such. I just recently went thru my email archives and did a Big Purge. Now my email folders are lean and mean. At work I never allowed my emails to accumulate and I could never understand coworkers that were always running out of disc space due to never deleting an email.

I know, right? I have a client that is into recipes... I mean crazy...
They are txt files and her lib is 20g. No, really 20 GIGS of text. There is no way her whole dam family can cook all that in 3 generations. Still, she's adding to it...
