My inbox hit 14,000 unread emails before I finally snapped
I was sitting in a coffee shop in Portland last month trying to find a single receipt from 6 months ago and gave up after 45 minutes of scrolling, so I just mass deleted everything older than 90 days and now I'm terrified I lost something important has anyone else done a hard reset like that and regretted it later?

Did that exact thing about a year ago. Found out I deleted two tax pdfs I needed later, total nightmare.

Oh man, 14,000? That hurts just reading it. I mean, did you at least try searching for that receipt differently before you went scorched earth? Like maybe filtering by sender or date range instead of just scrolling like a maniac? I've done the panic delete thing before on my personal email and it's a coin flip whether you actually lose something or not. What exactly are you most worried about having deleted - like bank statements or work stuff? Cause that changes whether you should start panicking or just let it go.
