I do have that much mail and more because I use my mail program as a searchable filing cabinet. I have even committed data to email that is saved (not sent) and then moved to its folder (of the current 307 folders) and that mail might well contain an image of a census sheet or a map. It makes life comfortable for me since my primary interest is genealogy and handling about 1000 emails a day from related mailing lists. While I might keep only a few of those mailing list posts, I find the mail program itself is the most easily searched information source on my computer, so the mail is retained in its file folder. Cooking is a hobby, and I also maintain about 7000 recipes in email form, allowing me to search for an ingredient or name when I am after a specific recipe. It works for me.
