As one of the geeks who built these phone systems back in the '90s, it’s one of my biggest regrets that I didn’t do this.
Yes, 130,000 emails is a totally normal number of emails to keep in your inbox. It’s clearly my company’s fault that your iPhone can’t manage to open it.
Ok but anybody with a zero inbox is just shunting off most of their mail to subfolders they will never open. That’s more organized, but it belies a general problem with email.
Also, your email client shouldn’t be loading all of your messages. It shouldn’t matter to your iPhone how many unread emails are in your inbox. If there’s something your company is doing that requires an iPhone to open 130,000 emails, then it is absolutely your company’s fault.
My method is that I’m both a shut-in and low-level employee so I only get a few emails a day which results in 0 unread emails
who’s a broke friendless loser now 😎
