I get at least 50. Sometimes it is 100 or more depending on how many "reply all" replies are sent.

I get a ton of emails every day, 200-300. I work in IT as well, and a lot of them are notifications from servers and workstations that we monitor. Those filter into a subfolder automatically through rules.

I have VIPs setup on my iPhone and MacBook for my employees, business partners, and important clients. This has helped with never missing high priority emails.

100-120. 25% are unnecessary.

I'm in a pretty beta position as a middle manager, but one thing I do is have my regular people send me one comprehensive email per day - that way I can get to all of their concerns in one swipe and not have emails flood my damn inbox every time they have a question

I probably get around 120-130. I probably only need about 10-15% of them.

Actual meaningful emails? Probably about 5-10. sometimes that number will be higher depending on what I've got going on.

Counting the worthless emails... things like Spam, LinkedIn and worthless reports that serve no real purpose? Probably around 30.

I get 50-100, depending on the day. Only 12 people in my office, but I work in PR. I get a ton of news emails, client updates and things to edit from the people I manage.
