On a normal business day.

I work for a large company, and the number of bullshite emails I get on a given day is out of control. Do you think it's possible to take this up with some managerial people to try and decrease the number of nuisance emails?

Is it normal to get 50+ emails a day? It definitely makes me miss important info.

I get about 400~500 per day. not only I have to reply to them, I have to make sure that recipient have received them and reply back to me. collaborating with other people who don't give a frick sucks arse.

35-50 but the owner of the company frowns upon the mass bullshite emails.

Since most of my business is in the Middle East, it's very common for me to have 200+ emails on Monday. It gradually declines throughout the week and Thurs/Fri might be less than 20.

Create Folders with Rules, that will automatically move the messages to those folders without you having to do anything.

For example if you get a lot of message from news@company.com, you create a folder with a rule that every message from that sender directly goes in that folder.

Helps filter out a bunch of shite.

I get 50-100 emails daily. Sometimes more.

And yeah, half them are just company bullshite where they put everyone on the distribution list (work for a large company).

Eeehhhhh on a fairly typical day I'd say maybe between 20-30ish? Most of those get deleted. In a given day there are maybe 5-10 emails that I hold on to or file away.

0 most days. If I don't open Outlook I can claim ignorance.

No mention of handling emails via mobile device as soon as they come in, and then moving on?

Must be the death of the keyboard phone. I still rock a Blackberry with multiple accounts set up with different notification priorities; it allows me to easily handle -- or ignore -- 100 emails on a busy day.

<--- Look how efficient it's made me. 1000 posts in 4.5 years. Hope the TD servers can handle the strain.
