Email is an example of where you seldom do some back searches, so sometimes I ask myself shall I ever have a search back for this, if not delete it. But it's more with stuff like del.icio.us, there are so many bookmarks yet, that I have the feeling that most of them I'll never see again.. Should just find piece of mind with that.
