Ask HN: How much do you email yourself?
Is it a frequent thing and what is it that you mainly send yourself? Just wanted to see who does it alot on HN as well.
Usually it is for reminders of something, or for transferring a photo out of my phone without opening up "primitive ftpd" and pulling the photo out. I've also sometimes used it to transfer a small file "in" to the phone for the same reason.
But I also run my own email on my own server at my home, so all of this usage is local to my internal network (no spying big-brother advertising corp. involved).
