This might be a problem....

currently I have over 3,500 emails in my inbox!!!! Yikes! I was thinking of a goal I could work on and remembered my no more than 50 emails when I leave work each day! I wonder how many days it will take me to get it from over 3,500 to 50.....this is just sad!

I know a really great way to conquer that - sort by sender first. That way you can eliminate ALL of the junk mails from them one sender at a time, and you can eliminate all of the "chain" ones where the last one has the entire conversation anyway. Then sort by subject, so you can see the ones where people hit "reply all" and you can see the last one in the chain and eliminate the previous ones as well. You'll get rid of at least half that way almost immediately.
Ahhh...now I remember why I hated mondays in insurance! Good luck!

how does that even happen? Doesn't your email (assuming outlook) completely crash and not allow you to send any when you are out?

That is great advice Molly..I will try that...I am also going to use folders for work emails that I have to keep.

And Meghan, I get an email every night at midnight that my mailbox is over its limit but since we are a big company you get that for a while before you stop receiving...It does stop you from sending them but the limit is so high that usually I can just eliminate one big email (of pictures or something) and it takes care of it.

got it. I know cox is big, but matt's crackberry is always clogging from emails and is always pulling out his laptop. Maybe he just says that as an excuse....

Miss blogging. Be back Saturday!

Oh yes, it definitely sucks on the blackberry....cause that shows all the emails you send and receive..so it is double and has actually helped me keep the number down a bit. I miss you blogging too!!
