How many e-mail messages do you get every day? How many of those are spam? How many are "Topic Reply Notifications"?


I get about 20-30 a day, and haven't gotten a single piece of spam since I changed ISPs this summer. :mrgreen:

I average 20-50 a day, not including forum reply notices. :)

I voted 50-80, but it may actually be more than that. I've got alias forwarding on all of my newer addresses, so I don't get any spam from those.

Unfortunately, I have some email addresses that are both ancient and published in literature that's been distributed around the country AND heavily posted in newsgroups. Those get mostly spam at this point. :roll:

I tried the forum reply notices for awhile, but I just couldn't take the volume. I figure that I'm here often enough to render the reminders unnecessary anyway. :wink:

I get less than 10 real emails on my paid account, a month. Hotmail over 500 day, Spam, and and about 10 per month from my friends chain mails....

20 - 50 a day between my three accounts. That being said, 75% is probably spam :devilboy:

I'd say about 50-80 without spam and without the PPCT news queue. With those two, I'm probably getting 150-200 messages. :|

I get about 300 a day, with about 290 being Spam. I use yahoo to filter my mail (work email -> yahoo mail (for filtering) -> outlook). This works out well, as I can access my server's SMTP service to send with the appropriate "from: " line. Out of the 10 real messages, about 5 are newsletters, 5 are from actual people!.

I've had the same email since July 1998, so its quite published as well, and people still know to get me at it. Its so bad now, though, that on my webpage, i've had to create an e-mail form that can be used to send mail straight to me, but not give out my email address on the page or the HTML.

probably about 20-50 emails per day - almost all spam.

Fortunately I don't have to see most due to my email provider's spam filtering system.

I think, between all my email accounts, probably about 200 without any spam. Lots. 8O

I don't get too many junk mails. I think I get maybe 50 max a week in junk mail. I've been lucky. My brother get 100+ a day in junk mail.

I'm at least 150.......was getting much more due to spam, but did a 30 day trial of Qurb (http://www.qurb.com) and then purchased it because it's very effective.

I voted 10-20, but have regrets... I just counted, and it's more like 20-30, not counting spam. My privat ISP and work have very good spam-filters, so it's not much spam that get through :-)

I voted 20-50 but didn't count my Hotmail account which is the one I use for "untrusted" sites that ask for a valid email account. It catches another 20-30 a day but I mostly delete them after a quick scan of the senders and subjects every day or so.

Another interesting question is how many email addresses do you have? I was just setting up an new dial up account on my ipaq and was creating some mail accounts and was surprised that I currently have 7 valid email addresses as well as Hotmail.

I have two, one in the office and one "everywhere"... but I have 7 aliases that go into these two mailboxes.

I'm sure I have some webmail-accounts lying around somewhere, but havent used or checked them for years, so they are probably deleted or full :lol:

I get an average of about 150 messages per day at work and then a couple dozen on my home account. I only get spam on my Yahoo account, which I check monthly (just to clean it up really).
