13,000 emails

As an undergraduate student at UNC I had an email account on their server. When I left I set up a forwarding system to bounce the emails sent to that account to a newer email address, so I'd still see them.

Getting ready to go back to UNC three years later, I checked my old account.

Apparently, though copies of the emails sent to jderrick@email.unc.edu were bounced on along to my AOL account, the first copy of each email stayed on the UNC server....

All 13,000 of them.
