What’s the deal? I can sympathize with the sinking feeling in the tummy, but 95% of those emails will be obsolete. They’re either spam, stuff it was of no consequence to answer, outdated, or unimportant. I mean, you stopped checking that email account for a reason (obscure as it may seem now), and your life hasn’t ground to a halt since then…

I say do the “Check All/Delete All” bit a lot. Just scan for important names, get rid of the rest.

What’s worse, is when you know you have 834 emails in your inbox that you need to reply to, but you act as if they’re invisible and go eat a cookie.

Yikes. I had the same happen to me with my Comcast account. I simply deleted everything and sent a quick apology email to everyone that matters in that particular address book.

i think if you log into anything yahoo (like messenger, for example) it will keep your address because mine keeps popping up with new messages & i haven’t checked in probably 6 months because no one has that address.

it could be fun to wade thru those emails, bringing back memories of that long ago… but would get pretty tiring really quickly.

Yahoo is starting to DELETE email accts that have shown no use in 2 months I think they told me. Or was it three? And by use I mean the ‘owner’ signing in.

At any rate, it might behoove you to check out your accts if they are addresses you wish to keep.

Just a heads up for ya.

I have done this. I once let my email go for about a year. Do not do that. It is bad.

Kismet: If there was anything important, it would have made its way to you by now. I think EvilScienceChick has the right idea

Totally feeling your pain. I had an incident like that at a job a few years back. IT failed to consolidate multiple work email accounts. No wonder I didn’t get that promotion.

Ouch. Well, at least it might explain a few things. Like, for example, have any of your friends stopped speaking to you? Well, there you go.

Good luck wading through!

Is that why you did not come to my candle party?

Just kidding. That is a total bummer…go give your boy a big hug and kiss and say oh well. Life goes on.
