It feels great to be back… Been net deprived for the past 9 days. But my inbox… ugh. 173.
173!!
Oh well… time to sort the spam.
Glad to be back.
Yep. When I’m away for work for a week, I figure on anywhere from 150-200 new e-mails when I get home (on the personal e-mail. The work one…about the same, if I didn’t have access where I was). I spend about 5 minutes deleting them. It’s pretty easy, since “real” e-mail is sorted into folders and I only need to scan for things that ended up in the wrong place.
173 is that all?
Heh I returned from a five day trip this morning and found 384.
of course only 28 were not spam.
Back at DEC when I came to work after a 2 week vacation I was lucky if I had under 2000 work-related emails.
Pshaw. I signed up to a mailing list about two weeks ago and I easily get 100+ messages per day.
Hey, whatever happened to our Dopefest? 
Well, glad you made it back ok. For the record, the most I’ve ever had in my inbox was 127, after spending a week away from computers.
My inbox is bigger than yours!
Yes, 173 messages is peanuts!
Mine on average probably looks like (per day):
10-15 work related e-mails
10-80 personal e-mails (yes, it really varies that much!)
30-60 mailing list e-mails
…and a buttload of IM messages, but then those don’t really accrue in my absence except on ICQ.
