How much do you email yourself?

Question

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.

I email myself when necessary.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).
