Something I did about a month ago changed my anxiety level so deeply, so I want to share it here. I turned off the notification badges on my phone mail app. Now I don't know if there's a new email in my inbox (actually 10 of my inboxes) until I open the app manually. When I open the mail app, I triage very quickly which emails to read and which to delete/archive. I didn't realize how such a small change could make a huge difference in my wellbeing. Now I sleep better and start the day more focused. :)
I read all necessary emails even in Spam Box but I do not open emails If I see they are not relevant)

I mostly end up reading them all emails.
Vladislav Podolyako
Yes, read all of them every day. And I always do check my spam inbox, you never know what can land there.
Irma Lafleur
Yes - 99.99% of them. Unless they are a cold sales email, with a Calendly link... that's an automatic "file away".
Irma Lafleur
@diana_iun Only for cold emails! If someone I don't know reaches out to me requesting a meeting, they shouldn't be asking me to go out of my way to book the meeting that they want to have! Plus I automatically think it's a copy & pasted generic email that they've sent to multiple people. So I usually immediately file those away!

I usually check my spam folder once a month
Peyt Spencer Dewar
My inbox has become a spam folder itself
Marilena Nikou
no, quick scan and read the important ones!
Maria Noemi Hernandez
Not all of them! A quick scan and decide which ones to read

I strive to read and respond to all my emails, but occasionally, some may slip through the cracks. As for the spam box, I check it periodically to ensure important messages don't get missed.
Sandra Robinson
Just those emails marked as important.
Patrick Cook
Honestly? Nope. It's just not possible. I've got filters set up for priority stuff
Cara
Opportunity reads all emails, but there are always some that are occasionally ignored.
Alasdair Gauld
I quickly scan through, delete unnecessary, file ones that I'm copied into for reference and then create a to-do list at the start of my day of anything that actually needs actioned.
Abigail Thomson
No, sometimes I delete things without even reading them. When it's obvious spam or sales emails from products I've tried and don't want to use.
Jeremy Lopez
Hell no, Impossible for me to read them all.
Phyllis Coleman
Hopefully I can read them all, although it's really difficult given how many spam emails I get every day.
