I just deleted over 4,000 old emails, 100 to 200 at a time, as I felt I had to quickly review the senders and subjects. This is literally 20 years of emails, so I’m surprised there weren’t more, but earlier today and yesterday, I had reviewed and trashed equally as many junk mails, so perhaps that is whey there weren’t more.

Evidently I did delete some emails as I went along over the years, but feels so good.. Like cleaning out drawers and cupboards, which I have been doing, too. Perhaps now I’ll be able to read new emails easily as in the past few weeks, Hotmail has been showing me who emailed me but wouldn’t show me the actual emails until I hit reply and waited a few (hopefully) minutes. Sometimes they wouldn’t show up at all. Add to this the hundreds of unsolicited and junk mails I get per day, email has come to be a real pain.

Monday Pet Peeve: Junk Mail

Blogger Paula Light from Light Motifs II just posted her Monday Pet Peeve and invited us to voice ours. Hers was about ads on Facebook. Mine is about JUNK MAIL. Read on to hear my peeve.

Strange, but I’ve never seen an ad on Facebook. My peeve is email. I am besieged by so much junk mail that I can’t find my real mail. It is driving me crazy. Aside from the scams, which are getting increasingly harder to distinguish from the real thing, the worst are the political notices…hundreds a day, all asking for money. I believe in the causes but am literally spending hours a day ridding myself of all of the notices. I send money and immediately have five or six others requesting more––even from the campaign I just contributed to. The result is that I am just going through every few hours and erasing them all, which of course defeats the purpose of informing us of issues, but if I didn’t, I would literally spend every moment of every day reading bad news, and is this how we want to spend our lives? There must be some solution short of burying one’s head in the sand. There used to be a button to ban a sender from one’s email but I no longer can find such a button. Okay. Rave over.
