my main email address was with my first provider c.2002, & I also use thunderbird

When I changed ISPs last year I paid a few dollars to keep my old address. I also have 2 gmail addresses, one where I am just a first name that can be either male or female, so I can be relatively anon on forums or lists etc, the other is for a folk club.

I've been deleting irrelevant/personal stuff from the club address for when I eventually hand it over to someone else, or I pop off the twig unexpectedly & someone has to take it over! so DaveRo's comment got me thinking.

But it's still in gmail - you'll find it in 'All mail' in the web interface. You can delete it there if you want to.

I use folders & have been deleting useless stuff & FWD then deleting useful stuff from the original & sent folders - will I still have copies hiding somewhere?
