There are 2 types of people. I have to clear all notifications. I look at my wife's phone and she has 32 FB notifications and 312 unread emails. I don't know how that doesn't bother her.

OFT! I can't stand to see the little red bubble on my phone. Picked up my wife's phone the other day and she had over 10,000 unread emails! WTF?

Same here! I can't stand seeing the little notification bubble. Same goes for my work email too. I read them all, then categorize them. Some of my coworkers have thousands of unread emails.

Only the ones where I'm quoted. I don't have time for all of the reactions. Nor do I care.

I know all my shit is brilliant, and all the reactions will be thumbs up and laughs :laughing: so I only care about the stirred pots :stirthepot:

Right? I'll have unread messages in my deleted box because I don't feel like taking the time to mark them as read, but otherwise, if it's unread, it requires action or attention.

Side note: Our IT guy was giving me shit about the 16k messages in my deleted box, but he didn't realize that was just the unread showing the count, not the 20k read messages that were also in there.

Me: No worries, CTRL+A, Mark as Read. "Hey IT guy, I took care of it, its all clear now. "
IT guy: Thanks!
:shaking:

If the top tool bar on my phone and the notification station doesn't look like this every time, it bugs me.
See..... nothingness

Im basically the same way. If it needs attention, I will keep it and mark unread. If it doesnt but might need it, it stays unread/or sorted. Otherwise it's in the trash.

Precisely. And I have a couple dozen folders/subfolders for stuff that needs to be referenced back to or stored with its related messages.

Yeah. Our company implemented DARM policies to outlook a while back. Anything in the Inbox is auto deleted after 90 days. Anything in one of the other custom folders stays 2yrs before deletion. I setup a macro that runs on startup, that moves everything from the inbox to a folder, and then about once a month/quarter I back up the important ones to file storage for longer term keeping.

When you have the same free email for 22 years, and chose something that included a random collection of numbers because you didn't know spam would be a thing several years in the future.. .you get a lot of email. I ain't got time for filtering stuff.

i read all my emails then if simple tasks or just FYIs file them to the correct folder. if it is something that im working on or needs additional information from me ill flag it and leave it in my inbox. thats the only way i can keep track of important stuff i still have to do. if i put it in a folder i forget about it till i have to get in that folder for something.

The interesting part about that for me, is the 253 incomplete drafts. That is alot of unfinished thoughts. Or you just like to vent and then never send it.

lol
First - 22 yo email box
second - a lot of times I'll hit compose, then realize I don't need to do it or whatever and go back to Inbox. Instead of throwing away a completely empty email it just becomes an empty draft.

But... yes a lot of incomplete thoughts. EDIT - looks like about 15 or so never sent a year.
I never vent without sending :D
