Not mine. My inbox fills up with the overflow from my bulk folder every day. I have too many things stored to abandon and start over with another addy.

dorine, this is exactly why I think email is dying because nobody spends time in reading all the emails, more and more of us are on blogs, forums, Clipmarks etc. Obviously we're nowhere near abandoning our emails but they're becoming ineffective in terms of live communication.
