WOF: How many unread emails are in your inbox right now?

None. I use MailWasher as a filter, gives me the options to delete without downloading or bounce emails back to spammers (and others I don't like).
Now read, unsorted emails in my inbox...until yesterday that was 850+, now down to 33 that need my attention.

Zero in Outlook. when my first e-mail address started getting too much junk mail I created and moved everyone I wanted to, to the new one then deleted the old account. I keep it clean to keep the pst file small and Outlook responsive.

Like several other people I have 0 unread in my inbox. Mostly due to the fact that all 3 accounts are setup on my phone so it makes it easy to scan thru them during the day. Of the three accounts one for family/friends, one for registering products or receiving online purchase information and one for the forced website registration.

Honestly, I don't know!! One thing is for certain though, I am hard headed. Once I get an idea in my head, a mere hammer may never change my mind.

In gmail 12,095 unread

I have 0 in my main inbox (Hotmail) and likely a few hundred (lazy to check) in Gmail. It's forwarding all general emails I get, which I then check read as I use it for video notifications or such. After I build up like 200 or so emails, I just go and sort them into folders or delete. It's mostly from who I follow, and don't like to forget what new videos might be out. Yes I could endlessly refresh a channel / check whenever but it seems silly with 10+ channels at least.

If an email actually doesn't get through, I check my Gmail but other than that I ignore it. Since it's either filtered by Gmail or Hotmail, which can be a pain if it's possibly important. Hotmail is set to exclusive so, I don't see those useless spam emails. Saves a lot of email skimming honestly, with a double filtering to weed out junk.

I don't like reading email in external apps, it's more time to keep opening another app in the end. Since I try to keep a low active app count overall, due to I have to use a rather meh system.

As of now: 147.

I just checked my Gmail account. It says "you are using 0% (.1GB) of your 10.1GB.

So, with that in mind does it really matter if I don't read somebody's email, or leave it in my inbox? I already know what they say.

They all say I should spend money at the store who sent the Email, and that I will save money when I do....

I've got zero unread emails, but 18,899 emails that I've archived.

And you couldn't just simply round that up to 19,000.? Oh, OK then maybe, 18,900?

I'll bet there's another one there already, just while we've been talking about it....

Well, now it's 18,900 since you responded to me. lol

Gotcha....

I've had over 600 before in a Yahoo! mail account, but now I usually let the number get to about 100 before I start culling the messages. Most of them are subscriptions to newsletters, replies to posts, etc.

About 20,000 over 4 email addresses

Zero. It always baffles me when I see people with over 1,000+ unread emails. How do you see the few important emails when you get dozens of spam ones every day? I just unsubscribe from anything I don't want to get.

UPDATE: 129.

I'm really powering through these things, as you might have guessed.

Same here, a couple hundred unread email is all I will deal with at once. Anything more and I have a tendency to use Ctrl+A then Delete to remove the lot.

Mostly, zero. Work one is clean, spam ones are untouched (who cares). My main accounts (Gmail) have a couple unread. The reason for this, is that the unread status flags it as something I haven't got around to doing. Mobile notifications can get annoying, but they get forgotten after a while and dont constantly notify, luckily.

For my personal mail box, I get about 20 +/- emails daily, and usually check emails 8-10 hours unless there is something important which need my attention.

I currently have 20,725 unread e-mails in gmail.

I don't see a problem with this. I just keep everything in gmail's inbox, and there are enough e-mails where I don't need to read anything more than the subject. Commercial mails, mails from tech sites about reviews, acknowledgement of payments, Kickstarter pledges, ... Many of them aren't worth keeping, but there's also not much to gain from deleting them, so I don't bother.
