There may be no easy way to solve my issue, but I’ll throw it out there.
Been using Apple’s Mail for ever and ever. Over the years, I have created ‘folders’ to move email into and save for whatever reason.
Now I have folders full of different out-dated receipts, dead web links, and more useless info than a junk drawer in my kitchen.
I guess I just have to take a folder a day and click through each email and save or toss. Anyone one have a magic spell or a technique to help clean these up?

Thanks

I too have a large “documents directory” of emails I have saved in Apple mail. If if viewed one a day it would take me forever. Some of these mailboxes go four levels or more! I do ocassionally try and clear out a mailbox when I realize that that “event” is over.

I wish there was an app that I could transfer my mail documents (Mailboxes) to That way I would probably do so once a year.

I am an officer in a number of groups I belong to and I am amazed howoften I need to refer to previous emails (received or sent) to answer some members question - prove I sent them a message, etc.

Bill,
I have the same problem - I have never looked at any of the saved emails so I figure I don’t really need them but yet I can’t bear to get rid of them.

When I get to the point of being tired of all of the mail folders I think I will just delete each folder and not bother with seeing what’s in them.

Throw it away if you haven’t touched them in X# of weeks?, months?, years?, decades?. If, when you touch it it doesn’t bring you joy, throw it away!

Good luck and let me know what you decide.

Great philosophy Harry! No joy…no save. I found some today that not only didn’t bring joy, they didn’t bring anything! Inactive / dead links that I was saving. What a waste.
Thanks,
Bill
