Whether or not you use Gmail, it’s important to understand that the idea of never deleting emails was widely popularized by Gmail.

You had to delete them to free up space so that you could get more emails.

Yes, Gmail launched with five hundred times as much free storage as Microsoft’s email service.

Google kept adding free storage space.

Why delete emails when Google will keep giving you more and more storage space until the end of time.

In 2013, Google set a limit of 15 GB of storage for a free Google account.

That Google account storage was merged across all Google services: Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos.

In fact, Google is taking away the free storage space it offers for photos.

If your plan was to never delete emails and hope that Google keeps increasing your account’s storage, that hasn’t worked out.

Microsoft’s Outlook.com offers 15 GB of free storage space, boosted to 50 GB if you’re a paying Microsoft 365 subscriber.

Apple iCloud email uses your iCloud storage, and Apple famously offers only a tiny 5 GB of free storage for all your device backups and iCloud data.

If your email account is full, you have a lot of space used by useless emails.

If you’re using Gmail, for example, the Google One Storage page shows how much space is used by your Gmail emails?

You’ll free up space, and you won’t have to pay to store useless emails.
