Email management. Like at all. Set up filters and use the archive. There is a key to do that. And holy fuck 2432 unread emails? You should be ashamed of yourself
Problem I have is I got my [email protected] as my email address. Many times when people with my same last name they’ll type firstname<space>[email protected] for their email address. And guess who gets signed up?
At first I unsubscribed, replied back to emails that were meant for someone else, etc. But the number of things to unsubscribe from unmanageable and it gets to be too much of a chore.
Holy cow, we have the same problem. I only got [email protected] so I only get folks with permutations of my first and last name, but to this day I still get my Nigerian counterpart’s bank statements. I’ve got my UK counterpart’s PayPal payments for artwork they did. I’ve had my Australian counterpart’s job recruiters reaching out to me for months. It’s kind of embarrassing when I tell them they have the wrong email…
Used to work in a public library. Majority of the job was walking people through “forgot password” which was never a simple affair, and getting to see what a Hotmail/Yahoo/AOL inbox looks like with like 90,000 unread because they gave their email to every store and web form they ever encountered.

I am ashamed.

That’s all newsletters. I promise.
Now you’ll have a pile of emails you can actually parse, and all the newsletters clogging up your inbox will stop arriving in the future.
Do this every time your emails start to get away from you and you’ll be golden.
You might be able to select all. Wait 3 hours. Press ‘mark as read’. Wait another 3 hours. And then unsubscribe as the bullshit hits your inbox
Also. Move read emails to the archive people. That’s what it is there for.
I think the better solution is to simply set up a filter for the word “Unsubscribe”.
damn I’ve been making a new email when it gets too spammy and keep a list of accounts for changing all my accounts over
I had 6000 ish, recently went through and started unsubscribing and deleting. Got it down to 1200

Hah. I’ve a counterpart that I’ll happily pass stuff on to as I’ve worked out her actual email but the rest are super annoying. So many sign ups!
