How many emails?

How many emails per day that are competition related do you get?

On Friday I cleared my emails and at the last check today I had 1500+ emails (90% of those are competition related)

So I reckon I get 300+ per day, now I am not whinging I tick everything on the comps so I get newsletters from every man and his dog if they look interesting I have a scan through them if not they take less than a second to delete.

I never click click click through and delete them all, it would be my luck to delete a WEM :eek:

Maybe I just need to clear them out more than once a week :rotfl:

    About 30 to 60 daily

    If I don't keep on top they can get overwhelming



    I prefer Hotmail/Outlook as easier to navigate (bar recent outages)


    Tried comping with Gmail but can't get on with it.

    OK, so I am a lazy bugga :rotfl:

    I scan through them several times a day, and check more carefully when I delete them usually when I have 1000+ :O

    Several times I have found WEMs days after they have been sent :o

    B- Must try harder ;)

    I check inbox and delete box for any potential WEM's.


    Double check some with message source.

    I archive everything after scanning through, means if i need to look something up it's too hand. I have approx 400+ a day and archive every hour or so I'm on the net.
    I swipe all wins straight into a comps win folder so don't lose anything.

    When I go on hols it's awful trying to sort through it all.
