Let's see... about 2,250 in my gmail inbox. Around about 1 quarter of those actually get read, so yeah, roughly around 1750-ish and climbing. I can't even be bothered deleting them anymore... I think of it like a little garden that's growing somewhere on a Google server. Occasionally it produces edible roots, semi-ripened fruits and other okayish sortof things, but nature has to take its course; I can't go upsetting the ecology of the place by deleting things. One day it'll grow beautiful flowers and giant oak trees, but for now it's home to all sorts of interesting, independent life and mystery growths which may or may not be wonderful in their own way.

Aaaww.

I had 360+ (in my inbox, which I had never read, from several years ago) today, but thanks to this thread, now I have 0.

Several years ago at one point I think I probably topped several thousand due to a confluence of unanticipated circumstances on Second Life resulting in objects spamming me while I was offline with error emails, due to somehow being occasionally knocked through a wall into a no-rez zone (it was a target dummy which rezzed temporary balls when shot, which meant when it detected a collision, which was apparently happening after ending up in the no-rez zone, and when its HP dropped below 0, it became physical and went flying... sometimes violating physics, apparently).

I had to add filters to deal with the emails before going back into second life to figure out what was going on, because it was impossible to see any other email.

I don't actually remember this very well, since it was a long time ago, and I haven't really done anything much with second life in a while.

About 30ish. Nearly all of them are from subscriptions and newsletters though :P

I like how everything in there is spam, yet there's only three unread emails in the "Spam" folder.

I'm not sure if I should be horrified or impressed, Scelly.

Holy crap. How is that even possible? What did you do to incur the wrath of the spambot gods?

I have a filter. If the title contains anything, it goes to inbox.

Impressed. It took a lot of work to get it to do that.

Around 40, cutting out the spam... about 1-2 over about 1-2 weeks. I'm glad the spam goes to the right folder though.

I do like how I get Diablo 3 spam, even though I don't own that game. Silly scams. :P

A bit over 300, all of them newsletters and the like. I keep telling myself I'll read them one day, but unsuscribing is probably the best option really. Bah, I'll keep them.

11,825. Lately about 90% of them from Barack Obama, Barbara Streisand, and Rob Reiner begging to borrow a fiver. Yeah, I'm a pretty cool guy.

I got around 1400.

With so much gigabytes of storage space, what's the point of ever deleting anything?
