Ask HN: How many items in your inbox?
I'll go first:
Personal: 2
Work: 0
EDIT: This is atypical- I'm usually around 8/3, & no more than 12x in either, except for relatively rare occasions. I use the accordion method. I let my inbox fill up, and then at some point it gets out of hand and I take drastic measures to bring it back to zero inbox. Work: 53,589. That represents two years. This is due to a bug in my mail system that prevents me from automatically deleting messages. I only commit read mail from external senders and ~20 whitelisted people. Other people iMessage me if they need to get to me. Home: 300. I purge weekly. Unread emails? 3 (I only keep my unpaid bills as unread). Emails in inbox all together? All of them.
