    My work account has 37 email going back to late November. I like to keep this one as close to 0 as possible, archiving every email I’ve actioned.

    My envato ticket support queue has 35 unresolved emails from the past 9 days.

    My personal gmail account hasn’t seen the archive button in a long time, its inbox is full of crap.

    I have about 3 emails in my regular inbox, but I use Gmail and sort things into labels. I also have multiple inboxes enabled. :)

    32 “important and unread” email threads in my work Gmail, but that’s down from 167 over the last four days so I’m happy with 32 at the moment. :-)

    Constantly zero, I love keeping my inbox clean, so I reply to all of my customers from CodeCanyon, and read/unsubscribe from anything else.

    In the days of me using Gmail, I used to constantly archive. Right now, in my iCloud inbox, i’ve got 133 and in need of a cleanup (although quite a significant slice are Amazon order/dispatch notifications for Christmas deliveries!).

    In GMAIL I have 151,746, of which 108,890 are unread. I have had my gmail since 2005. In the beginning, Google said NEVER THROW AWAY ANY MAIL, JUST SAVE AND SEARCH.

    So, I took them to heart. The spam filter works great in Gmail, so very very little of the above is spam. I have had to upgrade for paid storage, because Google cancelled its promise that you would never run out of space! LOL.

    Sometimes I have 200 emails, but that because I do practice email zero. It all gets emptied out before I’m done :)

    Unread home: zero.
    Unread work: zero

    Read, but unfiled… many. I trust GMail’s search for that to not be an issue.
