How do you use email?

Same here.  If there was a TV show for e-mail hoarding, I’d be on it.  The only e-mails I delete at work are out of office notifications and the few spam items which get through our firewall/. Everything else gets archived.  At my previous job, I was able to produce an e-mail string from five years earlier when someone accused us of mishandling their issue.  It’s called CYA.  

I still have emails archived in my account from my previous place of employment. Not only do you not know when that might be needed, but sometimes you have something that might be useful in an old email too.
