Hit 50,000 unread emails this morning and it got me thinking

I was cleaning out my inbox around 6 AM before heading to a job site and noticed the counter ticked over to 50,000 unread messages. That's five years of newsletters, shipping notifications, and random spam I never opened. It made me realize how easy it is to let digital junk pile up without thinking about the security risks. Do you guys ever purge old accounts or are you just as bad as me?

Deleted about 30 old accounts last month after a similar wake up call. Went through my password manager and just closed anything I hadn't touched in over a year. Took maybe an hour total but the inbox is way quieter now and I feel better about it.

Man I feel this... it's such a relief once you finally do it. The quiet inbox is the best part honestly, less noise to deal with every day.
