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 😞)

#BoycottUSA

@EdwinG

yaay for boycotting the US.

@SnowyCA This one was particularly hard, because the email address has a decade-plus history.
@EdwinG 😳 oh that *will* take forever!

@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 😂

@EdwinG

😳 25-30!!

I wonder how many emails are crammed into the inboxes.😂

@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 😅😅😅

@EdwinG

🤦 oh noooo!

What would happen if you simply deleted the account?

@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 😅

@EdwinG oh it's at your workplace?

@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

@EdwinG I toss my unimportant ones fairly quickly, too.
