Do you keep your email inbox cleaned out? Do you read each email?
Did you happen to see the episode of NCIS where McGee's email notification said he had one new email but when he tried to open it it wasn't there? And it drove him nuts! Then Toress says he has like 1000 unanswered emails from when he was undercover.

Jenny The Great ⭐ Whether you keep it cleared out or cleaned out: both are readable for the viewers. ^_^

I believe it. But I usually use my spam email address for validation purposes and signing up for crap. -

I've had the same email since 1996..Yes, I have to keep it cleaned out.

For a second I thought maybe you had a special email from 1996 that you were saving. But now I'm thinking you mean you have the same email address since 1996. If I had a business I'd have a separate email address for that than I do for family and friends. Folders are also useful. I need to make one for AB. -

I've also had the same phone number since 1985. -

I've lost almost everything I own four times over in the past 10 years! Everything except a precious few photos and documents.

Yes, I like to keep things in "order." I do read all my emails and address them all, whether they are personal or social messages from all my social media accounts. Last weekend I received a lot of feedback on this site. I have addressed everyone's comments, so no one can say I did not get back to them.

A side note for all my fellow AB'ers: I mostly take the weekends off from Answerbag. If I do not get back to ya in time, ya can count that I will whenever I find the time. -

I didn't have notifications for a long time, but they started again. I don't answer each one. I like to see who likes my comments, but then I delete it. I don't feel every comment needs a reply and on a busy day which has only happened once recently I can't keep up, and I don't feel obligated to track down every comment everyone leaves. I recently picked up my phone and the notification said I had 89 new messages at 5pm and I had cleared my notifications at 6am, two weren't from AB. I'm retired. I'm not going to make it a job to answer AB comments. But when I was working I liked to keep it neat and clean too! I don't read my notification emails from Walmart delivery. I just glance at them then go back if it doesn't show up. And I seldom read the Veteran's Health emails. Come to think of it I haven't seen a lot of spam lately in my email. YAY! -

I remember you asked a question, saying how can you get your notifications back after you had unsubscribed from Answerbag. With 1700 questions in your profile, there is no way I am going to find the question I am referring to. I just remember the question, cause I had also unsubscribed from Answerbag with my personal email account. Talk about getting unwanted notifications on a mobile device. I enjoy getting feedback. I appreciate your comment. That lets me know you want to have a conversation with me. In fact, I still have our email exchange when I contacted you. I kept it to see which AB'ers am I going out of the bag with. Using a specific email account for all my Answerbag feedback allows me to see all my comments in which I can't miss. I don't see it as a job to address each and every single comment I receive. I do it out of generosity. To your remarks about deleting comments, I mostly keep religious comments. You never know when the accidents are going to unfold, so I keep them for reference. -

I've been less active on AB since starting chemo. I didn't understand all of what you said. I've realized most of what I've been through was so I could help others through it when their time comes, and I've done that here as well. The way I see it if I don't use the experience to help others then it was all for nothing, and that doesn't set well with me AT ALL!! I realized this first with the child abuse. But there are some that ask questions just for the purpose of contending with others, and some that will argue about anything - including themselves, and I've done it myself as well! I've decided to try and reduce the negativity in my life while on chemo. I just don't think its healthy physically or spiritually. But I do get sucked in. As for finding a particular question I've found some limited success searching google specifically with the word answerbag and as much as I can remember of the question. Good luck! -

You didn't understand all I said, but I understand everything you said, including being aware of your older questions. Answerbag does not have a lot of members were we would lose track of most of them. Almost anything that goes with a low amount of members on this site is not easily forgotten. And by the way, in regards to your question, I still have our email exchange using Gmail. I think our exchange is a must have for "reference." Other than that, everybody's different. We all come to this site for a certain reason. With many reasons, it's always helpful to get sucked in if we are staying relevant to a subject.

For further advice: 1000 unanswered emails is way too many. I say keep the ones you think are important, look important and get rid of what appears to be spam immediately before it gets out of control.
-
I try to keep it as clean as possible.
-
I don't read all of them, thankfully I can tell from the sender and the subject what is junk or spam. I do my best not to let the in box get too full. :)
-
I read all e-mail that I get
-
I keep it cleaned out and check it often throughout the day - you never know when AB notifications will start working again. I don't read all of them since most of it is spam that I just dump.
