I have an outrageous 960. I really need to do some email housekeeping... Can anyone else beat that?

OP posts:
Bimgy85 · 21/10/2018 19:50

26,000 😳

BreakYourselfAgainstMyStones · 21/10/2018 19:50

I'm not really young, I am, however, really lazy Grin

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 21/10/2018 19:51

There were 59. There are now 0.

Bimgy85 · 21/10/2018 19:51

It's the aftermath of having signed up to many websites/ subscriptions, from random clothes sites, holidays sites, job sites, quizzes, the whole lot!

How do you not read your emails?

OP didn't say unread emails.

I read them. I just don't delete them. I have a paltry 1987 at the moment.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 21/10/2018 19:52

So they’re read? Well. Phew.

HolgerLowCarbingLoser · 21/10/2018 19:52

Just over 40,000.

I used to go through and empty it every couple of weeks but I haven’t for a few years now...

Catsandbootsandbootsandcats · 21/10/2018 19:53

73,288.

I'm 42. Most of them are crap, so I don't bother looking. I should just delete but it's gone too far now.

My 19 yo gets rid of his, so it's not a young/old person thing.

CarrieBlu · 21/10/2018 19:53

Two accounts: 18,647 in one, 12,163 in another.

I thought that was quite impressive until I saw some PP figures!

Charley50 · 21/10/2018 19:54

678 unread.

PreseaCombatir · 21/10/2018 19:54

I have 38,087.
Unread.

CarrieBlu · 21/10/2018 19:55

Oh, and I’m in my early thirties. My husband is ten years older than me and clears his emails regularly. He can’t stand the fact that I just ignore mine Grin

Caaarrrl · 21/10/2018 19:56

40,701 Some of them read but many of them not. haven't deleted anything in a very long time.

Charley50 · 21/10/2018 19:56

Including read,dunno must be millions!

PhysaliaPhysalis · 21/10/2018 19:57

10, 194, all read. I just do a search if I want a particular email. Folders are too much faff.

Stupomax · 21/10/2018 19:57

Which inbox?

I have a personal one, one for my business, two for clients that I do a lot of work for, and one for signing up to shit.

Total 15,000 of which 713 are unread all of which are in the 'signing up to shit' address. And no, I'm never going to read those.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 21/10/2018 19:58

This is the most shocking thread I’ve ever seen on mn. I’m gobsmacked. This is a secret topic in rl 😲

LindsayIt · 21/10/2018 19:59

53,000 Blush

Come on, lets have a laugh, how many emails are in your inbox?
ThroughThickAndThin01 · 21/10/2018 19:59

It’s like not opening your post from the postman. Isn’t it??

ItWentInMyEye · 21/10/2018 19:59

3779 unread in my iCloud account, 4316 in hotmail 🤷🏼‍♀️

LindsayIt · 21/10/2018 19:59

I've had my email daddy for 17 years

AnnaNimmity · 21/10/2018 19:59

I have 20,000 unread. No idea how many read ones.

violeticecream · 21/10/2018 20:00

39100

DramaAlpaca · 21/10/2018 20:01

Just one. Seriously. I can't bear a full inbox & I file & delete daily.
