Inspired by this thread... - here's a nosy one

I used to keep thousands of e-mails. But in the last six months or so I've got brutal - clear out e-mails/PMs if I never re-read them, or they are out of date (e.g. making arrangements to meet next Friday - from May 1998), or they are the type of e-mails that shouldn't be re-read (i.e. ones from "love" interests where it's unhealthy to keep revisiting and trying to read between the lines for stuff that simply isn't there). So I'm a big fan of the delete key

E-mails, PMs - a regular clear out every so often is, IMO, good for the soul. As well as disk/server space

I do keep *some* - but most of them go in the bin after a couple of weeks.

Are you a keeper or a deleter? - and what sort of stuff do you keep?
