e-mail storage space
You might want to check with your e-mail provider about how much storage space you have for messages.
I just learned that we have 10 GB available - and the provider can start deleting messages without any warning if the space is "filled."
We lost some valuable messages because we were not aware of this.
Another thought - print out anything really important. I think one can also archive messages or save them somehow. But there is also the chance one's computer can crash - and it's a bother to try to retrieve anything from a crashed hard drive.

I have inbox
and one folder for purchases, I delete everything in it about 4 times a year
and one folder for keepers, In 21 years I still only have about a dozen keepers
I clean out the inbox about 3 times a week and empty the trash maybe every 2 months.
my email is a lean clean fighting machine
there is absolutely nothing on my computer that would be worth crying over if lost
I'm not meaning that as a smart mouth, but that I allow technology very little control over what I control.
And not much time

I just cleaned out my yahoo account I've had for maybe 15+ years. happened to see the total number and almost screamed. too many idiots sending me emails. yes, i put spam, etc. now my google one is getting bombed as more people use that one. cant' get away from them. printing out emails is difficult too!

I don't save what's in my spam folder, but I do look at them before I delete them. I often find things that shouldn't be in there that have ended up there. I mark those "not spam" so they move to my inbox
