Ask HN: How many items in your inbox?

3 pointsby cdvonstinkpotover 7 years ago
I&#x27;ll go first:<p>Personal: 2<p>Work: 0<p>EDIT: This is atypical- I&#x27;m usually around 8&#x2F;3, &amp; no more than 12x in either, except for relatively rare occasions.

I use the accordion method. I let my inbox fill up, and then at some point it gets out of hand and I take drastic measures to bring it back to zero inbox.

Work: 53,589. That represents two years. This is due to a bug in my mail system that prevents me from automatically deleting messages.<p>I only commit read mail from external senders and ~20 whitelisted people. Other people iMessage me if they need to get to me.<p>Home: 300. I purge weekly.

Unread emails? 3 (I only keep my unpaid bills as unread).<p>Emails in inbox all together? All of them.
