I am absolutely fastidious about checking my email for real memos and absolutely ignoring everything junk mail like, not even bothering to delete or file. My inbox flashed on the screen during a training presentation for associates one day and they were floored by my 3700 unread toast on my inbox.

Reminds me of a coworker who just... leaves all our automated emails unread and leaves them in the main folder of her inbox. I think she hit low 5 digits now after close to a decade of working in this department.
I don't know how she does it. I don't even like Outlook showing me how many junk mail messages I have, because it bothers me when there's more than 2 or 3. (I don't keep up on my personal gmail as well, but that's because I don't have to look at it as much and "read the whole email as a preview on my phone" doesn't count as "read".)

I had a boss who tried to teach us all to be like them and delete all emails. They were rather stunned by my inbox of 67,000 emails and also that apparently there is a legal requirement to not delete all records????

Yeah, I don’t get people with thousands of unread emails in their inbox either but apparently they have me outnumbered so whatever.

I found great success in moving everything that wasn't addressed directly to me or a very specific set of mailing lists out of the inbox and into something I'll check someday.
