I never delete them. I just let them pile up. At some point IT will deal with it.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 197: Hot! Hot! Hot!
A couple of years ago, our IT instituted a 90-day limit on emails in our inbox. If you want to keep an email, for whatever reason, you need to go in and code it to keep it so it won't automatically delete. A lot of my email is junk and another batch tends to be me copied on an email conversation going back and forth. I try to check it even when on vacation to clear out a lot of the junk so I don't come back to the office with a full inbox.

Ditto. I categorize them as best I can. BUt it usually gets out of hand quickly.
Are you on a space quota? We used to have that with Lotus. Set at 500 MB. Which I laughed at pretty hard.

No more space quota now that we're using Outlook instead of Lotus, and now that its all cloud-based.

We used to have space quotas, but then someone identified my user ID as having maintained a processing application some number of months ago. I know nothing about the data within the app, but my name is on record as having altered some data during the fix. So now I have no space limit because we're being sued over something we do that uses that specific application during its end-to-end process. I'm not allowed to delete very many emails anymore.

Mine is in my pocket 24/7 and I don’t enjoy that.What's an email?
Sorta serious. It's not needed for my position at all. It's pointless. I probably check mine once a year to get the link to our HAZMAT recert. That's it. And yes, I spend 10 minutes deleting everything else.
From the stories I hear around here, it's a Godsend to not have a necessary email.
When I get to the BWCA for my annual trip, it’s heaven.

Good Morning/Afternoon Lodge!
When I was working as an NP I was pounded with messages- internal. In the 13+ yrs I was there they never managed to straighten out the external email. It was always messed up, not accessible for what ever reason. They would periodically tell me I was supposed to use it, I would show them I couldn't access it and they would tell me they would fix it soon. Never did. It did not make me sad other than to aggravate me the place should have thought it was important and actually fixed it. Now I work for a Catholic University. Most of the year they email me to remind me of obligation days or what ever those are and tell me about various fixes, phishing schemes to watch out for and that's it. During the school year a few more than that but not much. Works for me!

For Catholics, it basically means that they're supposed to attend Mass.
Today is a Holy Day of Obligation for the Feast of the Assumption - the Assumption of Mary for the something involving Jesus. I didn't much care. I still don't much care.

I always wondered what happened if you didn't. If that sends you to hell then you might as well live it up for other things!

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 197: Hot! Hot! Hot!
I gave up on the Catholic church years ago. If I need to go to some specific building to talk to God, there's a problem. I once had a priest tell me I wasn't a good Catholic because I didn't come to church. I laughed and said I knew the real issue: I wasn't tossing any coin into the collection plate. That was my last regular time in a church other than some weddings and funerals (it's been about 38 years since I went to mass).

People expect me to tell them before I do it. I know, I don't get it either...
It depends on the day. We get emails about anything and everything. The worse the weather and ATC day, the more we get. And since we fly for 3 major carriers, we sometimes get it in triplicate.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 197: Hot! Hot! Hot!
I also didn't realize people thought they needed a mouthpiece to talk to God until I was in college when a fellow student felt I needed instruction as I was not going to Church and I wasn't Catholic. I grew up with the expectation you went straight to the Big Guy, no middle man. To not do that was somehow sacrilegious altho I have no idea why.
It wasn't until I was an adult that I heard of the concept of having to pay to go to Sunday School- and that there were politics involved in who got the best time slots, etc. It was a huge controversy in the local Catholic Church and some of the people I worked with had kids who were affected. They talked about it for months. I was baffled. How could you exclude people and why would anyone require payment to teach about God? We just have Sunday school and kids come. Whole different world out there .
Didn't grow up Catholic and didn't actually meet a practicing one until I was almost 10. We lived behind a base and I think almost everyone was a Baptist altho no one really talked much about it. I remember being totally confused when the Mum was yelling at the kids they needed to go to Mass. One of the kids started to complain and the mother declared in funereal tones not going would be a...pregnant pause... "Mortal Sin" . The kid shut up and complied right away. I went home and asked my mother what a... "Mortal Sin"... was. I never even knew people thought there was more than one kind of sin or that God would not love you if you didn't go to church.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 197: Hot! Hot! Hot!
That's not what turned me off though... it was the 3 vastly different reasons they gave for not wanting to (two of which were directly related to the aforementioned coin in the collection plate).
Haven't been to a normal mass or church service since. While I gave up on the Catholic Church, I've never given up my faith... pretty sure there will be a spot for me inside the pearly gates.
Mom's Italian... guess where I was every Sunday! I was even an altar boy for 9 years. Said goodbye to the church when I was 21 and trying to get married. She was pregnant (and I thought I was doing the right thing) but 3 different priests refused to marry us.

This. God and I negotiated a deal decades ago. I do my best, ask for forgiveness for my sins, and he's cool with that. I don't need any church (or organized religion) to do that for me.
Can't remember what movie it's from, but it sorta rings true: I don't visit His house, He doesn't visit mine.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 197: Hot! Hot! Hot!
I receive emails from three different project managers on a number of different upgrade initiatives - SQL Server, some security updates, and a few others. The PMs will put the application they're discussing in the email header or meeting subject, but then won't say for which project. How does that help when that one PM and many of the others involved are on two of the projects at once? They all have staggered timelines, so we can't combine efforts. I just hate the PMs we have right now. It's like the new corporate policy for projects and upgrade initiatives is to fail faster and more gloriously than before.
