I've only got about 780 in my inbox at work. If you want to count the subfolders and stuff, I'm over 20k items.
I'm nowhere near as bad as you guys....... I've only got 1950 in my inbox, 12000+ in all mailboxes

must be nice. we only get 50mb for our mailbox. The rest has to be moved into personal folders on our local computers. Our admins don't believe in buying enough disk to hold everything. Our mailserver only has about 60GB of disk in it.BigDov said:I'm nowhere near as bad as you guys....... I've only got 1950 in my inbox, 12000+ in all mailboxes

To properly sort and delete everything that comes through would be a 25 hour a week job in itselfwhy_ask_why said:I bow to your powers of laziness my friend
And I get barely any spam, maybe 3 or 4 a day - that's all work related

I think our quotas are 250MB or something, but they're soft - we just get alerts, I've got something like 600MB.

Of course our email is on two EMC Symmetrix's

This is our new limit too- we used to be able to consume up to 10gb per employee
I wish our quotas were soft. If I get to 49mb I get a warning and then when I get to 50mb I get another notice telling me that I'm at my limit and my mailbox has been disabled and will be disabled until I shrink it to within acceptable limits.ChikkenNoodul said:I think our quotas are 250MB or something, but they're soft - we just get alerts, I've got something like 600MB.

"regular" employees get 50mb (including IT staff unfortunately)
officers get 250mb
executives get whatever they want - no quotas.
so what is the composition of the emails in the inbox numbering 17,000? how long have they been there? what kind of emails are they? are they all business-related? this just blows my mind that all you guys, who range in careers, have such an outstanding number of emails. what's the ratio here, as in, how many emails per day/per week is average? i'm just amazed by this thread.

On a slow day, I'll get 150 new emails. At certain points in our quarters, I'll see upwards of 300, at least 99% of those are work related. As far as what I've kept, some of them are important staff-related things, others are issues that I need to keep info/evidence on, and some are personal.
We've got those same asshats working here. My favorite are the ones who send inline images in HTML emails. Those are the best since they cause our email client (outlook) to lock while the data is being transferred across the network from the mailserver that's 100 miles away.BigDov said:

We're all using Mozilla mail or Thunderbird, or some derivative of whatever version of Mozilla each user is using. We don't seem to have those issues...... might take a couple seconds for the message to open, but it doesn't hobble the client.
