Age has nothing to do with relevance. I like to save things and I don't like to sort. That's the way I am. I'm not suggesting this is rational or productive or a good practice to follow. (sorting and deleting before getting more does sound like good policy) But that's not what I do. So I want my software to serve me by behaving the way I want it to. Sorry you have a problem with people being different and wanting to do things different than you. Eventually I get around to cleaning out the inbox a bit. Somethings I plan on leaving in the Inbox forever. That way I know where to find them instead of wondering what file they got filed under.
