- Archive: Anything you have a feeling might be useful
- Delete: Anything you’re pretty sure would be useless in the future
This has always been my strategy, though some might say I'm closer to "archive almost everything". I still do a lot of deleting, though. Deleted mail tends to fall into the following broad categories:
- security alerts and passcodes
- notifications for events happening in a different systems (e.g. Venmo payments, bank alerts, etc.)
- receipts for non-durable things like restaurants
I guess I could try to move these more forcefully from email versus phone notifications, but this still is really low priority and it's kind of better to just deal with it in a batch at the end of the day.
