How many unopened work emails?

Just noticed ive clicked over at 2400 unopened work emails. I wonder what tedium I’ve missed by not reading them?

I still got paid on the 14th so one of them isn’t my P45🤷‍♂️

What’s everyone else’s score?

unfortunately, zero 🙁

work 869

personal 67,898

None!

1254, but I’ve only been on the job 15 months.

Zero –  something I leant to get on top off or delete.

Only 190, I’m very good😁

Zero (well, 4 currently). The NHS has a really bad habit of sending the most innocuously looking emails that in fact contain warnings like “oh and by the way, if you don’t respond to this email in the next 20 mins, we’ll consider it a breach of your contract and we’ll remove you from the payments scheme” but using very inclusive and non judgmental language

Hundreds. If they really need me they’ll call me.

None, I flag them, deal with them, import them to our records management system, and delete them. I aim to have a clear inbox by the end of the day, or at least in one pane so I don’t have to scroll to see them all.

I wouldn’t worry about it, if it’s important they’ll send it again.

I’m on 688 after a purge last week, vast majority I deleted were nothing I would need to read or action anyway.

0.

Because it’s kinda my job to read them.

Zero. Extensive use of Delete is used.

1,663 work,

app on mobile 5,309

2542 in personal work inbox.

1 in my department inbox, but I just got a new one set up for a new project last week.

842 in previous project inbox, but that’s someone else’s problem now.

None in my inbox, 303 in delted items. They’ll all be IT stuff about how they’re gonna re-calibrate the dilithium crystals at 6 o’clock or something….

0, and 22 items in there in total.

My inbox is my to do list, so if an e-mail is in there it needs something doing with it. Once completed the e-mail gets moved to another folder.

work 0 technically, the recycle bin has 1825 currently as that is where the rules put the important stuff

personal 0 as i have no friends

Zero.

zero.

Personal email also zero (inbox is set to exclusive and I also have no friends)

Zero. I don’t have work email 😎

Zero. If someone in my team had 2400 unopened emails we would be having a word.

I don’t like every aspect of my job but I get paid to do it. That includes managing my inbox. So zero unread emails at end of day and inbox viewable in one pane without need to scroll.

I got a pasting from them last week for having a full inbox of unopened emails.

Zero impact on my day it’s at over 100 already again also sending me “important” stuff via teams gets no response if it’s soooo important try ringing me.

 If someone in my team had 2400 unopened emails we would be having a word.

You wouldn’t be able to schedule a meeting because they wouldn’t read your emails.

if it’s soooo important try ringing me

I never answer the phone, it’s nearly always people who want to complain that I’m not doing my job properly. If it’s really important, they can come and talk to me, they know where my office is.

31266 – do I win?

“Zero. If someone in my team had 2400 unopened emails we would be having a word.”

{{{{Deletes all unread emails}}}}

Zero. I don’t even have a work email address.

I’d say at least 2530 out of my 2542 unread are generic company spam, IT satisfaction surveys and Teams notifications. The emails that need attention get it.

37

You did not ask about deleted before opening or answering. 😜

I set up Outlook rules to filter all the shit into folders.

Unread mails in my actual Inbox tends towards zero, unread emails across my entire mailbox is tens of thousands.

853 in my inbox

1296 in my deleted items

34k (and rising).

I’d say at least 2530 out of my 2542 unread are generic company spam, IT satisfaction surveys and Teams notifications.

How did we do?

None.

Check urgency, deal with if necessary or park and pick it up later.

I love the “if it’s important they’ll send it again attitude”. They have sent an important email and 2399 follow ups.

Zero.

Unactioned – 14

They’ll all be IT stuff about how they’re gonna re-calibrate the dilithium crystals at 6 o’clock or something

That’s  obviously nonsense LD and the gang don’t work past 5.30

I feel really productive now! The only problem is I’m getting lots of automatic read replies now.
