Just yesterday I finally got rid of an email after two weeks of studiously ignoring it.
My record? About four months. I don't allow myself to get rid of or move a message until I've dealt with it.
It was a reminder of a relative's birthday. I was away on her date, then didn't get around to it for a week, which brought on the burden, and so I did nothing. I was saved by a phone call from the birthday girl, and my first reaction was, "I can delete that message now!" Telling her happy birthday as I explained that I'd seen her name every day for months and so thought of her, every day for months, we laughed (good lady that she is), and moved onto other topics.
