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

215,041. I win!

But I keep all emails - I even pay extra for google cloud storage as I don't want to get rid of any. It means I can always run a search and find an old email.

Blush don't have my notifications on for this reason just checked now 894 Sad

CherryPavlova · 21/10/2018 20:07

I have about 15/20 at any one time but receive about 150 a day which I clear in set ‘email periods’ at start and end of each day.

Fuck me at some of these... Grin I kinda had it in mind that my inbox would implode at 1000 but clearly looking at some of these, that isn't the case. I'm impressed. Might as well not bother stressing over it any more as I clearly have a few thou' to go to catch up.... Grin

  1. It’s my to do list. If it’s dealt with it’s filed.
OrdinaryGirl · 21/10/2018 20:50

Are you feeling better now OP? 

OrdinaryGirl · 21/10/2018 20:51

Oops cross post 🙈
I certainly am feeling a bit more on top of things - it's all relative and good to know others have inboxes raging out of control too. 😚

TopBitchoftheWitches · 21/10/2018 20:52

29, 000 ish.

tigercub50 · 21/10/2018 20:54

Absolutely ridiculous amount! Must be over 100,000. I started to delete a while ago & kept wanting to read them so it took forever. Most of what I get isn’t that interesting so they really need to go

I have given up deleting junk email. I do read emails just can’t be arsed to constantly delete stuff.

I guess if I search for something it’s there and I don’t seem to miss anything as
I check it each day.

strumpetblowingatrumpet · 21/10/2018 20:56

4 but they are all flagged as needing something done with them or reminders of deliveries not yet arrived. All there for a reason and all read

Maidsrus · 21/10/2018 20:57

Any decent emails get completely lost in junk selling emails. I did try to keep on top of them but it’s far too much hassle. 8400 unread

earlgreymarl · 21/10/2018 20:59

Lol this is making me feel better!

Redglitter · 21/10/2018 20:59

I read them and delete, deal with or file them

My work inbox is the same much to the bemusement of my colleagues

Dastidlt · 21/10/2018 21:32

514 unread in my personal email which is a huge improvement it was 1000s until I sorted it out recently! 961 in my work one, mostly office crap which gets spammed out and a million reply alls, which I can never be bothered to sort through, no I don't know where in the office your favourite mug is, I work from home hundreds of miles away from the office!

radioband · 21/10/2018 21:33

51700

missmouse101 · 21/10/2018 21:37
  1. I sort them most days. Utterly shocked at how people just ignore them! Why?? You might miss something really important!

WTF?! That's hilarious.

Queenofthedrivensnow · 21/10/2018 21:44

8,248

EggysMom · 21/10/2018 21:48

9,236 of which 3,111 are unread. They're going to be the promotion emails ....

The other mailbox doesn't tell me a total, just that I have 10 unread.

TidaQuel · 21/10/2018 21:48

65,252 Blush

hartof · 21/10/2018 21:50

35,095. Everyone else can't stand it when they see my phone but it really doesn't bother me.

DustyMaiden · 21/10/2018 21:51
