For 15+ years, I stick with one Gmail account.

Actually, it was my first if I remember it correctly. For a while, I was trying to tag emails and sort them via categories to stay organized... Idk, maybe it's just me, but it didn't work for me 😉
Especially nowadays when there are so many newsletters, promotions, spam, etc from all the services (some of them you can't even unsubscribe, lol). Depending on how many emails you got and how many services you have associated with your email, it's surely manageable, tho might require a little extra work. 😉

Emails that are couldn't be unsubscribed will drop into the mighty spam box (blackhole). I use the label to auto/manual organizing emails. My label section is quite long now.

Nitpicking - gmail was established less than 20 years ago. Release date found using a quick google search was April 1st 2004...

Ha! I just make my quick assumption, not really calculate exactly how many years. Lemme correct it.

It's all good, I was just being nitpicky because, you know - if devs aren't then who is? I remember 20+ years ago having a Yahoo mail, IIRC Google didn't even exist back then (Now I feel old... )

Nostalgia... The ICQ (I seek you) messeger were crazy popular at that time, we treat it like our smartphone apps of today.
