so apparently they lie, and your trash isn't automatically cleaned every 30 days. i've been noticing the last few weeks that gmail has gotten slower and slower. so i check..only using 20% of the mailbox, seems reasonable. but just opening a new email takes 10+ seconds..on any browser/computer

well i checked and there are thousands of emails in the trash that haven't been deleted. so i delete them and now i'm at 1% usage..and gmail FLIES

amazing
