My USA company-owned email address is pretty much retired.
Now to wait for things to sync up (will take years 😞)

Mon adresse courriel propriété d’une compagnie états-unienne est pas mal à la retraite
Maintenant, je dois attendre que les choses se synchronisent (ça va prendre des années 😞)
yaay for boycotting the US.
@SnowyCA At least, it’s not a corporate address 😄
With my previous workplace, I ended up with 25-30 addresses through various acquisitions and naming conventions. 😅 And that excludes addresses that were retired from my account!
Rumour has it, they still receive emails for me 😂
@SnowyCA I once received an email to let me know I had too many emails, 😅
There was close to 500,000-750,000 messages in a folder, I had to change the retention rule, because manual deletion didn’t work 😅😅😅
@SnowyCA Impossible to delete. It would led me to be off-work for 90 days - until the account itself is fully deleted.
Setting the retention and letting the servers to do the work we pay for fixed it. There’s a hard limit at 1 million messages in a folder, but it becomes mostly broken around 500,000 😅
@SnowyCA Former one, yes. 😅😅
My personal mailbox has at most 5,000 emails. I don’t keep anything very long, unless it’s like critical
🤔 I'm beginning to think you might not like that employer...?😂
@SnowyCA 😂😂
Those years were the fun ones (for me!) once my role was modified to target worldwide infrastructure 😁
@SnowyCA 😂
Before that, I had mostly local infrastructure and employee support. It led to, I would learn 7-8 years later, burnout. I put myself in an unhealthy work role (for my own personality).
Being technical support for technical people in a tech company… was not a good fit.
So with my director at the time, we reviewed my job description. I got servers and system infrastructure for all the offices we had, whether it was the Americas, Eurasia, etc.
It was so much fun 😁
@SnowyCA In some ways, it has gotten better with updates (e.g.: real-time positions for public transportation, buying a bus fare from home, general accessibility).
However, we have also become so much more aware of ways tech oligopolies take and monetise our information. It was happening ten years ago… but it’s so much more prevalent today.
