Or, even care.

Don’t know, don’t care.

Approximately 2% of my e-mails are interesting enough to open. I click on the “Select All”, then scan the list, de-select those I might want to read and delete the rest… then actually read 3 or 4… or not.

I like the way he thinks.

Sometimes they send it twice in the same hour.

I know someone who did that every Monday morning when he got to work. The good part was, he got rid of the junk that came in over the weekend. The bad part was, he was the HR guy who’d get resumes and people would apply over the weekend and he’d just lose them.

Only 400? I delete all the junk first, then scan for important ,(if any) ones then delete them from the in box. Look back at junk and delete about 20 more that came in the last 10 min. It’s a viscous circle for me.

I got a bill reminder two days ago, that’s it. It helps that I immediately unsubscribe any time I get an email I don’t need to see.

After I retired I got rid of about 90% of my emails now I’m getting a lot more spam and phishing emails.

Look at it once a day. Then sort it by the sender and see if anything needs attention. Then delete it all, then clear out your trash of anything older than a month once a month.

Had a boss who would handle important snail mail and paper memos immediately. Those for consideration went into his inbox and he’d attend to them as he had time during the day. At the end of the day, he dumped everything left in the wastebasket.

I keep gmail at 10 in the inbox. Folders (labels) for the rest. Either it hits the trash, is filed, or is acted on and then filed. Of course, that does make me the one who always knows what’s going on and always getting asked by those “less organized”. Down side to everything.

I like that Gmail sends suspicious and useless mail, things I routinely delete without reading or that are asking for money, to spam. I still check it occasionally
