So, Invicta, how big of digital hoarders are you?

Wouldn't know since I've been locked out of mine for a week and because its such an old email account it is a pain in the arse to resolve it.

Using about 150 megs of my 15 GB limit (Gmail).

I...actually have no clue. I don't know where to find that in Outlook. My original main address was a Hotmail address, then I moved to Gmail, then I moved over to Outlook (with a new alias, same Hotmail account) when that domain opened up. My main Gmail address only has .11 GB used. I do have an alternate Gmail address with over a gig though.

In outlook, right click inbox.. then properties, then folder size button.

I edited the poll to add an option for users with an unlimited storage plan, because I assume some provider has that.

This is Outlook.com, not Microsoft Outlook. As best as I can tell, Outlook doesn't seem to even have a limit to size. It might be bound to your Skydrive size though, which in my case is 25 GB.

This is based on my primary email address, jorost@gmail.com.  I also have a work email, with just about the same amount of space taken up (also a gmail account).  Then I have yet a third gmail for my school account, which I never check or use, so it's probably full of junk.  On my two primary email accounts, I clear the inbox probably once a month, on average.

You should've asked me about bookmarks, or things I save to my computer.

Not that I will allow you to ever know.

Heh. My Opera bookmarks got so out of hand it took five minutes to start my browser. Since then, I haven't ever really used bookmarks, instead just saving links into an unorganized text file. I've had two of these, one is still untransferred to my computer, and my current one has, assuming one entry per line (it's not quite this, but whatever), 18,396 links saved in it. As for junk I save to my computer, my desktop is presently approaching screen-filling capacity, and my pictures folders, combined, are approaching 70,000 files.

How do we deal with this?

I personally am thinking about just deleting everything and 'starting new'. Because really, what do I have of value

Also I really want to learn better organizational practices/I get off to the idea of tools or systems to properly organize things.

Metadata. mmmmm.
