I scan my junk file daily like a second in box because often I'll fine a client or offer from an agent in there. But, once I cherry pick (30-45 seconds) my junk file I mass-delete the rest with no review or count. I accept it as part of the online life and move on with my day.

Prafuf,

Last year my email count was 163 daily. At this time I think in excess of 250. 

Unfortunately, due to the environment in which we must exist, we need to be cautious before discarding the email that looks like junk. Some consumer anonymize their addresses to avoid junk that MOST ASSUREDLY follows contact  with any real estate agent.

DID we create the mess in which we now exist?

Luckily the Spam folder catches a good deal of them. Even the non-spam "spam" is annoying i.e from all my favorite retailers.

OMG! its amazing.  I probably delete 60-80 pieces of junk right off the bat when I look at my email.  It got to the point where the first thing I would do is scan my email and tag everything to be deleted then after I got rid of it I would start responding to messages.  This week I actively worked to unsubscribe from everything as much as possible so I'll see how this next week goes.

Praful - I would say that I probably get 20-30 junk emails a day. If you include all the listings I get sent to me by other agents, that number jumps to 40 or 50 junk emails per day.
