The delete key and the unlucky rule are key to large mailboxes.

And remember if it's really important people will chase you. Plus everyone will accept you missed their email among the haystack of 500 others

Not me, just 21 inviting me to try viagra, 6 asking me if I want to insure so I can cover my funeral, and 4 asking me if I want a hair transplant.

I think some spanners know my age...

On Friday I went away for the weekend and dealt with emails as they came in. Between 3.30-4.30pm when I drove I received 46 and so then handed my phone to the best man and said don't give me this until we get home.

I woke up at 7.30 today. I have 453 unread emails!!! FFS!

I need to get off some disti lists! Anyone else have this issue?

Very rarely happens on that scale, but when it does, i find the best technique is to just ignore. The sender will be back in-touch if it's important enough.
