My work email has 62,280 unread emails right now. -- nm - JaxSean May 15, 10:40 2
- "You never responded. Have you been missing my emails?" "I wouldn't say I've been missing them, Bob." -- nm - Max May 15, 11:06 1
  - I get A LOT of technical monitoring emails (failures, alerts, etc). I got 578 emails yesterday, 3,400 so far this week. - JaxSean May 15, 11:38
I would too. I'm an Inbox zero person. -- nm - MDH May 15, 10:22 4
- Me too! - Dark Callisto May 15, 10:24 3
  - Work and personal for me. :-) *high fives fellow zero-er* -- nm - MDH May 15, 10:26 2
    - 0 unread in work and personal. i don't play that 'ignore' stuff. -- nm - Diva May 15, 11:11 1
      - Right? I read and file or delete everything. There are literally no e-mails, much less unread in my inbox. -- nm - MDH May 15, 11:27
I probably have a few old mailing list collections that skip my inbox I should check on. -- nm - Max May 15, 10:13
My phone email no longer has the ability to move an email to the deleted file easily. So I’m not wasting time doing like 3 clicks - Will Hunting May 15, 10:08 3
- Go through and unsubscribe from that stuff. It's a lot easier and they stop bothering you. -- nm - spamlet May 15, 10:09 2
  - I unsubscribe from stuff all the time - and it doesn't work. I can't even send stuff to junk automatically. Google is the GD devil -- nm - Pippy - dollop of daisy May 15, 10:56
  - Ever so often I get something I want so it’s fine. - Will Hunting May 15, 10:22
I HATE seeing any unread notifications on apps. I clear them all as fast as I can. -- nm - Dark Callisto May 15, 10:07 6
- I just let em pile up and when I'm bored, I can see The Story Of My Phone. *shrug* -- nm - con_carne May 15, 10:53
- and thus what was supposed to be useful device becomes a Skinner box -- nm - JD May 15, 10:21
- yup -- nm - Beaker May 15, 10:20
- Same. I clear everything as soon as I can -- nm - Krusty May 15, 10:17
- I mostly disable them (except for apps where I care, like Flickr). My phone runs silent. It doesn't tell me what to do - I don't let it. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 10:09 1
  - I do the same. But I clear it on the ones that I’ve kept. -- nm - Dark Callisto May 15, 10:10
I mean, I guess a lot of that could be emails from retailers/websites, etc and not work or personal, but DELETE that shit! -- nm - TWuG May 15, 10:06
I never delete anything in gmail. I'm sure I have way more. I have more in my work inbox as well. -- nm - pmb May 15, 10:05 1
- Although my work ones aren't unread. Just still in my inbox. -- nm - pmb May 15, 10:06
Fired. Someone like that should be fired. If you can't count on them to communicate in a constructive way, they can find a job elsewhere. -- nm - Mop May 15, 10:04 3
- Your mistake is in thinking that email is for communication. That is just a side effect. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 10:05 2
  - "As per my last e-mail..." - Mop May 15, 10:10 1
    - Oh, I didn't check my work one. That was just my personal one. Work has 2000+ unread, mostly (95%) automated messages. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 10:13
I turned off the Unread badge on my phone because I don't need that noise -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 10:03 1
- Currently at 9,283. None of which require a reply or being read. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 10:06
mel's is kind of like that. I can't stand it at all. -- nm - Diva May 15, 10:02
