    Watching a thread where grad students and postdocs think a hundred unread items in an inbox is a lot 🤣

        I caught a glimpse of my undergrad chem professor's inbox, and... wow. Lots of unread emails. Grateful to have a clean inbox, for sure.

        (not in a judgmental way, it just gave me some perspective on how busy professors are)

        I just marked them as All Read when it reaches 10k! Felt so good!

        Personal style plus availability. I rarely have more than 20 at a given time.

        I care a lot less about overall inbox count than I do about the count in my filtered inboxes — committee work, collaborators, etc. Most of the rest is chaff, dealt with ~once a week. Lab comms (including our most intensive collaborations) are almost entirely through Slack.

        Email is - for sure - out of control.
