    A friend of mine has more than 2000 unread mails, and he just left them there with that big fat number covering half of the icon. Like, bruh.

      Rookie numbers. My ex boss had at least 10k at any time. I’d help him clear them out down to 8k and he’d be back up to 15k the following week.

      yeah that’s me, I don’t care about inbox zero. I just read the subject line. If it is important i read the email if it’s not i leave it. Not gonna waste time clearing my inbox. I look at my inbox like a couple of times a day, so the badge isn’t that important for me. I could turn the badge off, but i just can’t be bothered.

        Select all, mark as read, archive. Read the last 100 or 200. If he did’nt have the necessity to read them until now, he could also delete them for good.

        Not all of these are gonna be important and at this point most of them are expired anyway. Just read the last 200, archive the rest and do better from then on.
