I also try mightily not to hoard emails, but every time I get them cleaned out, they start accumulating again!

One of the, so called, bad habits was printing anything. I agree with not needing to print everything, but there are times it's helpful to print some things. The idea that nothing needs printed is rather rediculous.
If something gets your goat, it just proves you have a goat to get.

I am brutal with email !! I purge every folder once a month Purely because when I didn't, trying to find an old one amongst the zillions was so time consuming

Oddly enough Mad, that is one reason I got so lazy with gmail. The google search function of my email works so well I don't need to be so careful about filing away email where I know I can find it without a search. At work where I use Outlook, that is definitely not the case. I use the search function in Outlook when I have to but I don't like it.

@homer6: I used to have the same point of view as you. I printed things for easier reading and to discuss with other people and I kept hand written notes and todo lists.
I have been forced to be paperless due to the fact that I work both in an office and at home. All my work is on my two laptops which I schlep back and forth to the office. I don't want to add a lot of paper to carry too and I must have access to all my notes and documents wherever I am. I lose some flexibility in how I take notes. My handwritten notes are much more useful with diagrams and other things that can't be typed into a text editor. It's a compromise for sure but it is working for me.
