I am horrible about cleaning out my email. So many ad emails come through daily that I often ignore. If there is something important, say email correspondence between my ex and I about the kids, or confirmations of an online order, I will save to a different folder. But anything else gets left in my inbox, read or unread. I am now up to a whopping 23,771 unread emails! And this account is only a few years old. Anyone else terrible at this as well?
No unread emails in my work email or my home email. I either open and complete the task and delete, move to appropriate folder, add to calender or delete the email.
I guess I have a good spam filter, I would say 98% of my inbox is valid, legitimate stuff. I don't usually get more than five or six messages a day so it's easy to read, respond then delete or save.
Maybe you need some new software!

I can't even stand spam in the spam filter.
One. It's an email with links to free eBooks. I know it is there but I'll look at it later when I have my Kindle handy.
The very first thing I do when I check my email is go through and delete all the ads and similar that I don't want to read, leaving behind only the important and interesting stuff. Then as I deal with the rest, deleting or filing as I am finished with whatever each email requires of me.
Unless I intentionally save something for later, like the email I mentioned before, I have no unread messages left when I'm done.
Yep. Same - 19,850
4217. Just checked. I feel like I'm on everyone's 'list'. Don't know how it got that bad, but it did!
My spam is cleaned out daily, however. I check to make sure 'good' mail didn't get in there.
Dear heavens. I do clean out all the ads and junk - I delete them before I read any of my emails. But I keep so many emails in my "not read" inbox because they either have pictures in them that friends have sent me, or I might want to go back and read them, that I now have over 3000. I remember when 300 was shocking. I didn't know that email would even hold in the 5 figures! Wow!!
2205 in my active Yahoo account (I use it to communicate with tenants and all my retail address shares for getting coupons or ordering online)
I don't even check another Yahoo account -- I abandoned it to the SPAM years ago
0 in my Gmail account (I use this for school communication and my family--parents, siblings and husband only)
47,000 all totaled. Not sure about the unread I really need to delete stuff...
None! But there sure are a lot in my trash!
More than 12,000. Yes, I am ashamed.
I dunno. I have a Mac and anything designated junk and filtered by my provider goes into a junk box that I never get in my mac mail box. And I practically never go log into the actual provider's mail account. Just in my mac mail, though, I usually sort through old stuff and delete when I notice it has hit the 3,000 range.
nothing unread. but 1200 to which i haven't replied, or wanted to save for some obscure reason..........

3250, but I recently tried cleaning it out.
I just delete daily. But I don't move emails I want to keep into folders except for a few topics. So, I have an inbox of 85 read emails that I want to keep for some reason. I think I have 2 unread. What I do is open email and immediately delete all the ones that are not personal. I don't usually even look at them.
Over 2500 tonight, but I cleared out 3000 earlier today..
Ridiculous..
Holy cow!! I thought I was bad. I have over 4,000 unread messages.
I did have over 8000 but now it stays just under 1000. I hated it so I'm glad I have it relatively under control. lol
I have 208 unread currently. And I clean it out daily. :(
That being said, I guess I should get back to work. Ugh.
