Email bankruptcy is a term used to explain a decision to delete all emails older than a certain date, due to an overwhelming volume of messages. The term is usually attributed to author Lawrence Lessig in 2004[1] but which can also be attributed to Dr Sherry Turkle in 2002.[2]
An insurmountable volume or backlog of legitimate messages (e.g. maybe on return from an extended vacation), may also lead to bankruptcy.
During the act of declaring email bankruptcy, a message is usually sent to all senders explaining the problem, that their message has been deleted, and that if their message still requires a response they should resend their message.[3][4][5]
