At work I'm reading and writing email all day, of course. And I am so grateful for the 'unread' filter. Without that madness would rapidly ensue. I am very obsessive about having an empty inbox. But for work I have to keep every drop of water in the ocean, so I just filter them out so my inbox looks empty. Ahh. Car making a weird noise, turn the radio up.
Home email is another matter altogether. My personal email is like my personal land line. Pretty much everything that comes in, I don't care about. I got tired of deleting dozens of dumb emails every day, so I started doing something about it. I'm no IT guy, I'm not rolling my own email servers etc. Just free mail accounts through Thunderbird. But every time I would get an email I didn't want I took the time to unsubscribe.
Within a week or two I was down to about 5-6 emails per day. That is across about seven email accounts. So now all I get is an occasional Reaper Blog notice, prayer chain updates, and occasional spam that I have to unsub from.
Ahhh. Much better.
