My husband getās on my case about having way too much unopened email. Iām talking 99+ here! How does it all pile up? Geese Louise! Do you have more than me? Doubt it! Number to beat is 387 and thatās from only two email addresses combinedā¦yes I know I have a problem, donāt change the subject!
I think the most I had at one point was five.
It pays not to be popular and knowing as few people on the planet as you possible can.
I frequently have 150 or so unread emails after not checking email after a long-weekend vacation. I get way too many emails!
Wow! Thatās a lot for a long weekend! Arenāt you mister popular?
Thatās all? I get so much junk mail (that I let pile up), I think my unread over a few accounts was over 15K!

Props to you, neptunenancy!!! Impressive
I donāt know if itās impressive or highlights my laziness when it comes to my email inbox! lol
I guess I just have more interesting things to do (coding, for one) than deleting junk email!
Yeah same here. Hey! We should be buddies! Iād love to talk to you about your work!
Wow, when I see you talking about more than 100 mails I got scared : I always try to keep a ā10 mail unread maxā limit, but sometimes itās hard to keep.
Iām a person that doesnāt use her email for much, so thatās kinda why I donāt pay to much mind to it. I bet you have a lot of important emails coming in.
I remember the first time I had over 10,000 unread emails in a hotmail account, which was mostly spam. Another time over 17,000 unread emails at work. I get a lot of email from automated systems that monitor the network, itās truly insane. I donāt read most of them, and they get sorted and put into folders automatically.
Wow! Thatās a lot of email! Isnāt there some kind of way to stop all of that automated stuff from coming in?
I just filter it into folders and read it when I need to find something. My non-automated emails are far less, maybe 10 to 30 a day, which is manageable.
That does sound a whole lot more manageable. Iāve recently started unsubscribing to a lot of stuff. Some of these pesky emails make it tricky!!! Like Twitter! On the bottom of the email it says āopt-outāā¦and I tried everything else but that link. Turns out it meant āunsubscribeā. Lol.
(I know Iām really late with this, just joined but I figured Iād share anyway)
I always thought I was pretty bad sometimes my unread emails will accumulate to over 1k before I purge it. However, the last time I visited my father I was helping him configure some settings and the number above the Mail app was over 100,000. I want to say 102k or so. It made me wonder if thereās an upper bound to the notification number. Does anyone know?
Hiya Princeton! The husband just looked it up and said before, it used to stop at ā9,999ā or something like 12ā¦05. Those amounts youāve mentioned are ENORMOUS! I canāt even imagine gong through all that email and deleting it! Even if it were all junk ail, the actual process of āslide to deleteā or āselect all, delete allā could take days!
I have been spending the time to reduce the emails I get. If it isnāt important or something I actually want to read it gets dealt with. That has cut down the unread emails by a lot.
