When did you join Gmail? How many messages are in your inbox?

[sdifox]

June 2004 for me is the oldest email I have left. I am sure I deleted the welcome message.

Joined in mid 2004 and used it strictly since then. Right now have about 686 e-mails in my inbox.

WTH is wrong with you people? How can you manage an inbox like that? Do you not use filters/tags?

My inbox: 33
All Mail: 9646

I keep my shit clean yo!

The search works well enough, I've never really felt the need to categorize emails. It all just stays in the inbox and I don't really delete anything except some mailing letters, spam, stuff like that.

Somewhere in June of 2007
Currently have around 5369 emails for 187MB

2004 for me. unfortunately ive been using it as a spam account. surprised to say that gmails spam filters are amazing - i hardly have any spam in my inbox, because everything went to the spam folder.

'04 with zero emails in inbox. I never leave anything in the inbox. Mostly everything gets deleted, important stuff gets archived, really important stuff gets starred.

I joined in August 2010. I have four emails in total. I've received six emails, but deleted two.

Now the spam folder for my old POP mail address contains 31, 863 emails, since April 2009.

people are just scrolling to their oldest mail still archived.

Yep, quick link to "oldest." Also, I went to "all mail" to see how many messages I have.

Forgot to look in my all mail. 2005. Sounds better. Almost. I'm thinking 2004 though. I know we dropped aol for good when I was 18.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

17,182 e-mails (using all mail)... 16.1k using inbox
You are currently using 1125 MB (15&#37 of your 7498 MB.

How do you get the exact join date again? I remember finding it long time ago. I think it was around June 2004 though.

About the time it was cool to give out invites.

Never used it, so have no idea. I have an Exchange cluster for my emails.

 

[thegimp03]

7/10/04 with about 9k messages.

 

[mmntech]

Two years ago. The oldest email I have is from late last year though. 347 messages. Most of them old Facebook notifications.

I use my Gmail professionally mostly. It's my "business" account. I also use it to send outgoing messages from my phone.

 

[voodoojc]

39547 emails. Started 8/26/04. 7058MB.

 

[Gooberlx2]

Just under 7000 emails (or conversations, whatever) in All Mail.

I was using it full time in 2004...joined pretty shortly after the public beta invites started, whenever that was. I switched to Google Apps full time sometime in 2007 I think.

I can't really tell when my first sent mails via gmail started. Back in those early days, there weren't any proper tools to export/import old mails from other accounts without crudding up the headers. A lot of my really old emails look like they were sent to and from myself.

When I signed up for gmail, google told me I never had to delete an email again.
Search does work well for the most part, but there have been times when I know what I'm looking for, but don't know exactly what to search for.
In those cases, it would be easier if I didn't have so much unneeded crap in my inbox.
