My Little Soapbox

Heh.

Ha ha ha ha ha

So I got myself this new domain. Transferred my blog posts. Made a back up even. And set up my new email address. Then didn’t get it configured correctly in my email client so I thought my dear friend was just not emailing. Only to find out that *I* was the one ignoring people! Whoops!

So if you emailed me recently I am probably slightly guilty of not responding. Moving email addresses is a bit of a pain in the arse. Not to mention that I’m actually maintaining my Gmail account so I’m only selectively moving things. For instance my very prolific book swapping message board will stay at Gmail thus saving my tiny inbox at mylittlesoapbox.net from over filling.

I love my yahoogroups but boy do the emails pile up. I think I’m on two right now that generate over 250 messages A DAY. I don’t read them all but I do scan through for interesting topics or news bits I can use. But the sheer amount of message (even when sorted) has meant that my inundated gmail account in hard to go through. And I keep losing messages from friends or family.

How many of you spend sometime  unsigning up for things each year? I’m about on a six month cycle of  evaluation and unsubscribing from things.  I’m hoping for a healthy clean up this time!
