Wow, most I had was 96 and that's on a work related account I don't delete for record keeping reasons. Ya'll signing up for spam mail or something in exchange for doing surveys or something?

True, most of it is spam...

I'm up to 725.  Most of it is spam-ish stuff from newegg and the like, and updates from activism mailing lists that I just haven't been reading for a while.

Oh, you sweet summer children.  I have 3500 unread emails in the gmail account that I opened to get away from the (at the time) 9000 in my hotmail account.  Just checked back and there are over 17000 at present.  So yeah, 20000.  I should open a store.

Nope. Catching Nigerian scammer emails and tricking them into wasting ridiculous amounts of time.

I have an email address that I made in 2004 for the express purpose of signing up for political newsletters.  I later used it for things like dating websites and Amazon.  I haven't really "checked" it in a few years now, and back when I did I would grind out the hundreds of letters in there.  I've started using it as a dumping ground for a "registration" email address, since it can't really be any more useless to me.  Last time I was there, it had somewhere around 2200 unread notices.

Then there's my old college-provided address, also used for Amazon, along with Ticketmaster and job search sites.  Oh yeah, it was totally fucked.  Haven't checked that one in about six months, and now that I have a job, the only thing I use it for is stuff that requires a Windows Live registration, since it is technically a Windows Live address.

My two current emails, one with my name on it and one without, average a few pieces of spam a week.  Well, the one with my name on it does, and almost all of the "spam" is non-bill notices from the places I pay bills to.

Back when I used hotmail? Probably over 1000. Long since switched to gmail, and it's actually very rare that I have an unread email.

The person supporting regenerating health, when asked why you can see when shot in the eye justified it as 'you put on an eyepatch'. When asked what happens when you are then shot in the other eye, he said that you put an eyepatch on that eye. When asked how you'd be able to see, he said that your first eye would have healed by then.
