How many messages are in your inbox?

  • I only have 7500. But yea, the point of having gmail is that you can store about 10GB worth of emails. I believe that's over 75,000 email messages. I have labels to help me group emails in the inbox. My work email is a bit different though. I can only store about 300MB worth of data, so I have to archive my inbox periodically.

  • Nothing grinds my gears more than when it takes a co-worker or client a week or more to respond to my email.

    I just got a response from a client I was working with in January fromm old job. How does it take 6 months to respond??

  • ~24,250 in my work saved folder. 2.6 GB

    I don't know what you mean, but it had the cadence of a joke.

  • I probably have 1k+ in my inbox. I archive things older than a month or so. Search is sometimes tough when you deal mostly with HR. They are so bad at consistently titling things that the keyword that should bring it up rarely does. I have about 10 folders with subfolders for year and then month. I'm guessing it has to do with the nature of your work. I have the least complex folder system in my department.

  • ~3,187 in gmail
    ~700 in work (10k in archived)

    I archive things over a month for work because I need to save some of them. At home, it just sits there and I use search

    0 unread.

  • 2100 in work email (17k in archive)
    12k in personal email (I never delete spam)

    I do keep 2 folders in my work stuff...one for the current project I am on, and one for "important" stuff that I end up having to search for more than 3 times. The important folder has over 300 messages in it, too.

    Outlook has so many sorting and filtering tricks that it makes 0 sense to spend time and effort daily to keep your inbox low.

    See historicus' post for your answer.

  • 1587 at work, but that low because I periodically manually purge. None unread of course.
    About the same at home, and my alternate account has less than 100 because that's what gets the spam and other crap so I nuke it regularly.

    How many hoarders have automatic email purging at work after X days? It certainly does matter if it is automagically nuked after 3 or 6 months...

    Do you keep your email inbox fairly clean and organized or do you hoard every email you've ever receive in the inbox?

    I file everythig away neatly in folders or I delete it. Currently I have 2 messages in my personal inbox and 1 in my work inbox.

    Am I the only person that does this?

    I'm just like you with personal and work email. Delete, goes in a folder, or leave in the inbox until I have answered or the task is done at work. I get over 200 emails at work a day and if I wasn't like this...it would be rough.

    Is this on gmail? The spam filter catches most of that, I don't get too many to my inbox that I don't open. They usually pile up on the weekend and I'll delete 15 or 20 on Monday morning at work.

    I have gmail open all day at work, I couldn't imagine having a number on the tab for unread e-mails.

  • 5 in my personal inbox, no unread. I'm a student/working part-time so I have all of those accounts forwarded to my personal Gmail.

    I used to be an email hoarder, but I grew out of that phase. Everything in my inbox is something I need to follow up on. If there's something I think I might need later, I just archive it. I only really delete spam-type e-mails or things that I know I'll never need again.

    Well, I mean, that’s what it is. I doodoo and then listen to Katy Perry.

    Yeah, it's gmail. I have it open all day at work too, I usually just glance every few minutes and see if the unopened number has changed.

  • Somebody please explain how having 20,000 items in your inbox is preferable to a set-up like this where everything is filed. It is just laziness?

    Hey, if you would like to spend the time to get my inbox to look like that, go for it! I'm just way too far gone on my current method.

  • I have 26 in my work outlook inbox, no unread. I have to keep it low because we are only aloud to have so much data on our account on the exchange server where our county outlook is stored. I send and receive rather large attachments so i cant have many emails or i get constant reminder that my email is almost full and to remove items. So i have sub-folders stored to another network drive that has close to 17,000 emails, like UMTerp has his set up. My personal has 0 emails, because i just have everything sent to my work account. My person is mostly just spam so i clear it out every day. Only reason i have it is to sign up for things when they require an email address.

    I'm talking about gmail. Everything important is filed, it's also in my inbox.

    My work email is a different story.

    And in Gmail, I have 31,531 emails, with 5,189 unread.

    My work has a really shitty archiving system, and anything in a folder goes into the archive. So I have a relatively plump inbox there as well, but for a different reason.

  • I have 692 in the root folder of my inbox, which is pretty good for me - I have well over 100,000 in various folders.
