I do this at least once annually:
email bankruptcy n. choosing to delete, archive, or ignore a very large number of email messages without ever reading them, replying to each with a unique response, or otherwise acting individually on them.
My favorite category of these is the news alerts from Google News.
At any one time, I have around 4 of them, each requiring their own folder in Thunderbird. For some reason, I like keeping 200-300 emails in the inbox, so I may be in line for a ‘first half of 2007′ folder.

I need to do that. I generally don’t delete anything that I feel is worthwhile, even if it isn’t worthwhile a week later. Thank God for GMail’s space. I should purge this summer…
