Inspired by this thread, how many emails do you have in your inbox right now. Those with multiple accounts can report on the largest. Just your inbox, not associated folders (because counting up all mine would be too much work.)
At this moment I have 2869, which I’ve really got to do something about. I have 160 folders, some of which might be empty.
Fixed title.
How in OG’s name do you find out? I have over six years of emails in my ‘inbox’ which consists of several subfolders.
Edit: It’s there in the status bar. Brb.
I’m a little surprised the number is that small.
I have zero. I file or delete them as soon as I read them, and/or respond to them. Sometimes I have up to a half dozen waiting in the inbox for me to respond, but never more than that, unless I’ve been out of town or something. I have 10 folders with about 200 emails in them altogether – I purge them once a month or so. This is my personal computer – I don’t have a work computer.
My computer desktop is very tidy also. All in all, my computer is much neater than any other ‘room’ in my house!
10 in Yahoo
1 in AOL
I keep the necessary stuff in folders, and only keep stuff in my inbox to remind myself to address whatever it is concerning. (Pay a bill, do a task, look for eBay package)
Depends on the time of day. At the end of most days, I label, and archive everything, or dump it. Right NOW? 8.
55 unread (a bunch of stuff from mailing lists that I’m never going to read, I think), 470 total.
124 in my Inbox, about 6,000 in my subfolders.
This is work email though.
They do a yearly email here at work that asks us to empty our inboxes as it takes up server space. I’m usually around number 10 or 12. The number one guy is somewhere around 50,000 in his inbox.
19,573 received.
4,075 sent.
So that’s what happened. I was in the middle of editing it to fix it when I found it was already fixed. And there is a logical explanation for the seemingly supernatural once again. 
And thanks.
8368 unsorted
38323 in the largest folder
I’m not sure how to total all the folders (Eudora)
College mail inbox: 45 read and organized. Checked 2-10x daily.
Hotmail: 23
Yahoo: 1
Zero. It bugs me to keep email in my inbox. That’s what the folders or achive are for.
For me the inbox is for unclassifiable emails.
I try to keep the number of folders I have to a minimum. Some are essential, such as a folder for customer emails, a folder for automated emails, a folder for reports, a folder for emails sent to another department
1920 in my hotmail, and I try to stay on top of deleting useless email.
Work… wow. I’m afraid to even look. At least 10k. I have a lot of folders in my outlook.
0 unread though, if that counts for anything. I have a folder which just spits out exceptions from various environments with 27k in it, but those don’t count.
I’ve got 18 in my inbasket, and will have zero by the end of my day.
I’ve got a pretty good system of folders and reminders, and then ruthlessly delete.
At work: 0. I delete everything once I’ve read it, unless I really need to keep it, in which case it goes to a folder.
At home: 5. I’ve read them all, I just haven’t yet decided which folders suit them best.
