Could someone please summarize the problem?

I've started using e-mail at my office back in the days of primordial soup and dial-up modems.

Then we moved to personal e-mail accounts for easy communication with friends and businesses.

Now I have several e-mail accounts for different purposes.

I have never been informed that my e-mail space is overloaded or exceeding capacity.

I don't pay for my e-mail accounts.

What problem am I missing?

The problem I've seen is too many people don't actually read/process their email. I know many at work who simply put in a bunch of rules on where to move email based on topic or sender, but never actually read the email or trash it. They only read the email when someone calls them asking why they haven't responded. Then they do a search and say something like "I was just looking over that...." Ok, I somewhat get that on personal email, but these are business related so ignoring them isn't the smartest thing. Had a boss where things constantly died in his email which created constant "emergencies" for us to work the overdue item.

Yep. Don’t have the money.

If you can't read the article, there's almost always a subscribe button/link somewhere on the page so you can.

So I can end up on more marketing lists to clutter up my email inbox? Pass.

Rather fitting that such a comment was made on a thread about managing modern-day email, and what a mess it's become.

And, there is no forum rule against paywalled articles.

Are you sure? A regular poster recently mentioned he got a time out for continually posting paywall links "for discussion". These articles aren't appropriate for public discussion on a forum like this if one has to pay to play.

Link me to the poster so I can see, please.

I honestly don't recall other than I know it's a male poster and he mentioned it in a thread somewhere during the past week. After he posted that I took at look at the FAQ and didn't see anything against posting paywall links. Either way, I wish people would stop posting links to the paywalls. The majority of people don't subscribe to NYT or whatever media outlet and there are reasons behind that.

What marketing lists are you talking about?

Are you not aware that advertisers are what keep most media companies afloat? If you decide to pay for one of these, you have to enter your personal information, which opens you up to their marketing and advertisers sending you constant emails.
