How many emails in your inbox?

[TheSweetestHalleluja]

Recently saw someone post about having lots of emails in their inbox and felt quite embarrassed that I had around 1500 in mine. However, on closer inspection that was 1500 unread emails
My actual number of emails was over 26,000
I've been deleting and decluttering and am now down to about 2,000!
How many do you have?!

This thread should come with a trigger warning. Shocked how many emails people have. I've clutched my perils so tightly they have snapped!

Work 40 - waiting on people getting back with stuff, so I can action them
Personal 50 - waiting on action

I generally delete emails or pop them in a folder.

work - 123,000 ish
gmail - more than that

I don't file or sort emails, just flag them if they need attention and ignore them otherwise. no adhd, I just never found the need to sort email.

We don’t really use email anymore at work, we work almost entirely in Teams and Sharepoint.

But I’m a folders person.

Work: 61, none unread

Personal: 579 unread, no idea how many in my inbox.

At one point I had 20,000+ unread emails in my personal inbox so I feel like I'm doing pretty well!

I apparently have 57,121 unread emails in my personal email account, but I have adhd, and keeping on top of this kind of stuff isn't my strong point. Can't work out where to see the total number of emails, but there will be lots. It doesn't bother me. I have loads more unread ones in my work email and in a volunteering account too. The ones that I haven't read are mostly marketing crap or irrelevant junk that I can't be arsed to delete. I do read the ones that matter!

108,551
🤣

161,910

At work, I run an empty inbox - everything gets added to my to do list / filed / deleted / answered. And I get 100-150 a day

Personal? Many thousands 😂

Phew, glad it's not just me!
I'm down to a rather saintly 500 now, and have created folders and everything

On the downside, I had a £10 off voucher waiting to be used for groceries that I've accidentally deleted in my frenzied decluttering.

9500 but I used to run a tighter ship as I had a controlling boss. He would log in and clear my emails for me if I hadn’t done it, just bizarre: so it’s almost in defiance to him!

94,545

Jesus, you're all giving me the fear with your thousands of emails.

I have 1 in my work mail and 4 in my personal inbox to remind me to do stuff.

I have ADHD but the pathological controlling type 😂

gmail (personal) about 30,000 - this is after a massive deletion/cull last year

work - I have 2 work accounts. totalling about 85,000 emails.

😁😮

22 in personal, 18 in work. That's too many for my liking but got lots going on at the moment.

Work one had 12828 unread, personal ones are pretty much the same, couple of k unread, I rarely delete across both so tens of thousands for just general read ones

71 read that I am waiting on something to action, 0 unread. They get filed in relevant folders once done. I get about 250 a day so would miss something if I didn't have a system.

Work 54979. Moving things from one virtual space to another seems totally pointless to me.
