Yahoo Inbox

It is my routine to always check my yahoo email whenever I am on-line. I don't want to miss any message from friends. And somehow, i'm hoping to receive message from someone. But since I'm so lazy reading forwarded & spam messages, I now have 2,591 unread messages! I just wish I did not overlook important emails.
While in my work email, I always make sure I don't have unread messages. Because it means there are no pending issues with me, i'm updated and on top of my work. I receive an average of 35 emails (not including personal mails) everyday in the office. I am able to manage my work email perfectly but I can't seem to do the same in my yahoo email.
I don't know what keep me from cleaning my yahoo inbox. Is it because long time ago, this inbox had caused me too much happiness and at the same time too much heartaches? Did I intentionally ignore incoming mails because I want to forget everything about them? These could be the reasons. But nope, right now I just simply don't have much time. Besides, i'm more into blogging right now. :-)

The Untold Inbox Folder
I had used my yahoo email as my business email in my first company here in Dubai. To make my mails manageable, i subdivided my messages and created folders for each subjects/companies/issues etc. It was during this time that I created this one folder especially made for one person.
From July 6, 2006 to March 17, 2007, this folder accumulated 294 messages from this one person. I remember all are happy messages except the last 2 messages. This folder is not complete for there are two messages received after that (one in 2008 & another one this year)but I failed to transfer them.
I did think of deleting this folder before but there is a force within me telling me not to. And so I cancelled the thought, what I did instead is tried not to see that folder as much as I can. Right timing for I resigned and transferred to another company in Apr 14, 2007. We don't have access to yahoo mail in the office, just a work mail. I became busy. I found some good friends. I went out and enjoyed the world. I almost forgot about this folder. Almost but not quite.
I've learned so much from this folder. I can only be thankful of it. I would have wanted to make the ending differently. But fate interfered. To quote one of the messages in the folder, it says "if i stay i will only be in your way, so I'll go". :-(
