How Many Unread Emails in your Inbox?
 

how many unread emails in your email inbox?

currently i have 73 unread emails in my hotmail inbox. ive made the effort lately to go through all my crap and cut it down from the 500 unread emails i had a few weeks ago.

when i hit 500 i knew it was time to do something - a spring clean so to speak. its just hard to find them all. ive got 32 pages of emails from years of emailing that i need to go through (after deleting 430 unread emails). most of the unread stuff is from mailing lists that i rarely even read or ads or viagra pills.

have you done a spring clean lately? does it bother you if you have even 1 unread email?

i went to a friends place a few months back and he had 9000 (yes nine thousand) unread emails in his hotmail inbox. some people hoarde crap. my friend hoardes junkmail.

give us your stories!

Unread? Zero. At work, though, I have about 15,000 in there. Luckily, I get along well with our CIO, and he doesn't harrass me too much about them. I'm due for a pruning soon, though.

Seven, and all of them are either links to fanfiction stories I'm subscribed to but haven't had the time to sit down and read yet or urging me to vote/donate/volunteer. I also keep getting an email EVERY DAY from a mailing list I used to be the admin of for my living group in university, wanting me to moderate some emails that are being sent to the list. All of them are spam, and it's been five years since I used the list, so my password is long forgotten.

I try to keep my inbox relatively clean...so I just popped over there and now I'm down to two unread emails, both fanfic related.

None at home or at work. I am obsessed with keeping my email up to date.

My "spam address" has thousands of emails unread - I usually check it once per month and it has at least 3 - 4000 emails in it. I just empty them all at one time.

none unread

In my home inbox I have 6 right now that I plan to reply to soon. I check my inbox at home a couple times a day, delete a couple junks that sneak through, file in folders if I want to keep it.

In work I have about 10 in my inbox since I owe a reply to those. We have a decent filter so real junk is limited to a couple a day and I reply to most customer questions within a day, sooner if possible.

My gmail had 4000...thank god they added the 'select all' option so I could mark them unread before porting them onto my g1.

haha i usually have a lot of crap... unread: 568

zero...

None in either account.

I jst got finished sorting and replying to email, so only 2 in both accounts.

How the hell do you accumulate hundreds of unread emails? Are these accounts that you've forgotten about for several months, after deactivating the spam filter?

The most I've had at a time was around 20. I check all my accounts at least twice a week, and immediately delete any spam and read the rest. I guess seeing unread messages bothers me and I have to keep my inbox clean. Weird, because my desktops (both computer and wood) are cluttered with crap.

I have only five close friends. So all of them and thier wives email me to my office email id.

My office inbox never crosses 99 unread emails. Currently it is at 22. But when that is because I mark them unread even after reading. I mark them read and move to personal folders only after the action is taken, proper response is sent.

My yahoo id is currently at 120+. I dont bother. I go there only once in a week and clean up as much as possible.

None. I have to provide technical support to the guys on site. If I don't get back to them, they fall behind schedule. If I pretend I didn't get it, well, I can't, since all e-mails are CC'd to a separate inbox for each project.

None. I also have this thing to check my email addresses about 4 times a day. I usually wake up to about 8 to start off with for the day. after that, it pretty much stays empty throughout the day.

9112. It might be more now. I only read the ones I care about out of the first 25. I don't delete them if they aren't on the front page.

none. My gmail account uses pop3 to come into my email client locally, so I don't have to go anywhere to read it and the spam filter in Thunderbird works quite well, so while I get some of that, it is hardly overwhelming, and most of it doesn't go into the inbox.

I never pay attention. Occasionally, Red will be standing by when I open my email and he almost goes into shock. He reads and clears his inbox every day, and I "reduce" about once a year.

In my main email, there is nothing unread in my inbox.
However, I have 42449 unread messages in various folders.

I subscribe to several lists and it goes automatically into each folder.

None. I hate clutter.

In my workmail at present: about 69.

I get to read through about 200 mails each day, provided I work that day, if not, it's 400 the next day.

I don't read them all, and some mails I read, I remark as unread because they are put on hold.


Personal mail: main address: about 10, will read through those today probably

Others combined: about 30 unread.

I need an email assistant :)

The bold of the text that indicates an undread message pisses me off. :)

883

None, I make sure I de-clutter regularly. All spam goes straight in the spam box and gets cleared away at regular intervals.

None. I use my inbox as part of my To-Do list, and file stuff away when actioned. Folders are your friend.

By the way, using Gmail to organise all my email has changed my life and saved me hours a week sorting out spam.

None. I'm like little_tippler: Spam goes into the spam box and gets deleted at least once daily (in gmail, anyway) and I read all of my work emails in webmail over the weekend before I download them to Outlook on Monday morning. I had 53 "unread" emails in Outlook this morning, but all were read sometime over the weekend.

As soon as I see a new email in Gmail, I'm on it! Sometimes I wish I got more "real" emails, since a lot of them are ads or facebook notifications.

currently 51. i´ve actually read them all as none are spam but they are messages about messages in other places so i leave them unread in my yahoo account so i know that i still need to act on them, then i either mark them as read or delete them. having said that i still have stüff dating back to july to action. lazy....

None in my active account. My old account that got spoofed has hundreds of thousands, waiting for Yahoo to keep their word and catch the a--hole who did it. I've a couple of more emails that I clear out occasionally... once every month or so. They have a couple hundred each; mostly newsletters and such that I really am not too interested in anymore.

Now, QW, on the other hand, maintains a healthy 3000 to 5000 unreads. She must really like me cause she always reads and responds to mine!

I have 2092 unread emails on this computer, and I've had it for about a month. I'm not even going to go look at my old pc (now my daughter's pc).

Some are spam type, but I delete them within 2 days usually. Most of them are Yahoo groups emails. I browse the subject titles each day, and when I find time time and want to play I'll go through them.

Too many - 27! They are from people too important to delete, but if I know what they're about I'll have to do something about them. This way I can plead ignorance.

None. If I don't open them, my Blackberry won't stop buzzing until I do.

i went through last week and deleted ALL the unread ones.

now i have 27 unread ones once more....why cant i just hit delete????

can you tell someones personality from the tidyness of their inboxes??

surely someone who keeps it all tidy and neat will be the same neat freak in real life

what do you all think?

This.

I will say that my gmail address probably has a lot that it has filtered out, but I rarely allow even junk mail to accumulate for longer than 15 days or so.

Work: Zero unread. I read them, but doesn't mean I they are completed. I use follow up flags and catergorize them however.
Hotmail: 61. I just check it once / twice a week and have done a good job setting up rules to filter out things.
Office 2007 is awesome.
Yes - I'm a PC.

I have over 4000 :)

Today, 468. And I just did a clean-up about a month ago.

None at work.
None on Gmail.
Over 300 on Yahoo.
Over 600 on Comcast.

I don't check those last two. They just get all the shipping notifications and ads. Gmail is more personal and whatever does seep through gets caught by the Google's awesome spam catcher. I just delete them in bulk without reading.

None, anywhere!

I was bad about this up until I got my iphone. Then I spent my spare time at work cleaning out the inbox. Now, I don't let an unread email go anywhere. Both of my email addresses are organized and have no unread items in their folders.

None. I check my emails every day so I don't let that shit accumulate. It does bother me that I have unread emails. The gf on the other hand, has nearly 1000 and she's perfectly fine with it. Bothers the hell out of me...

0. i had way too many the other day, and i decided to delete them all in bulk. i hate junk email.

Here at work? None. The various home ones? Roughly 1500.

Do you really care?

Even if I juggle around a half-dozen or so of my alter-egos waiting to be born, given notifications of stuff I subscribed to three years, or told to respond forthwith to an inquery, I still don't care.

My mail is junk, both in reality and in intangible cyberspace. So, naturally, I read them all all at once, and simultaneously, hit 'delete', and forget just a day later that I ever subscribed to Reebok's newsletters.

i wittled it down to zero, and its back at 900 now..

its like a bush that can never be tamed...

none. anything that is unread after a week is just deleted unless I *know* that it is a required thing to save, then it just gets forwarded to a storage email address.

I can't stand not knowing if I missed the "funniest email of all time" but I will never again spend two solid days going through old email. I had several hundred and eventually just deleted the last few pages. I make it a priority to clear it at least every other day and to unsubscribe to all the crap that clog it up.

none. all unwanted shit gets filtered into the bulk/spam folder. I don't have a 9-to-5, so I don't get bogged down with work email

None. I clean them everyday. All my email accounts.

I don't have any unread. I send all the forwarded chain mail crap to it's own folder where it sets and rots. I don't look at it unless someone asks if I got it. I think I've only gotten a useful forwarded email once or twice and even then I was expecting it so it didn't get lost.

i deleted all unread emails a few months ago and now im back up to 2424 unread emails..

damn facebook notifications

Seriousy, I quit going to Facebook but still get notifications from there that clog my email.
My computer keeps freezing I have so many. (shitty computer, anyway)
Last I looked it was over 450, which was a week ago.

I just checked, 905 unread. Although in all fairness, I just received 121 messages a minute ago so I haven't had the time to ignore those yet.

People who know my cell number also know I'll actually read an email sent to that address (the @me.com addy) because I don't have to wade through a sea of spam and facebook junk.
