Revision as of 09:15, 3 June 2022

  1. Weeding out useless transmissions in a sample base from 280,000 emails via three accounts back to roughly 2006.
    • I have a high degree of duplicates because I previously had emails from @mikebeane and @rabbibob forwarding to rabbibob@ and this is causing some difficulties and numbers skewing (not enough for me to worry about final totals)
    • And I used the Remove Duplicate Messages add-on just now in Thunderbird: 36,000 duplicates (72,000 first+others). Removed those from the source.
  2. One downside of my approach is that I'm not capturing a high level count of things before removing, which skews some of the output numbers as we go: if an email is found earlier by a search term in removed, it can't be counted in subsequent searches.
  3. I had to stop processing Facebook things for a bit. I could just delete them all, however there are a bunch of conversations and birthdates and... nostalgia... ugh
    • As of right now, I have 20,000+ saved Facebook emails and 25,000+ emails I haven't dug into.
  4. The number of times I had to restart Thunderbird after moving 15,000 emails out of a 190,000+ folder was fairly high.

team 2300+ this was an interesting "from" term to look at. I kept five. I also found a google forward email request from BRJC to send emails from them to my account. Some of the email my rabbibob @ gmail . com has received has been... odd. If I go to NJ, I am thinking of requesting lunch from a lawyer firm that is a three-pete.
