Ghost of Inboxes Past

The MacBook I use at home now is the one that I was essentially granted custody of last August when I was laid off from Paste; I used the Mail desktop client for my work stuff there, but never cleaned out any of the folders. I can’t access most of it now because I can’t access the old mail server, obviously, but I just realized that there are some things saved on my hard drive, I guess, that I can pull up with no problem.

The most notable of these saved emails is one dated March 26, 2009, in which a writer pitched me on one Lizzy Grant, a “Lower East Side singer … making waves in New York and beyond.”

I found this email in the folder named “pass.”
