...just out of curiosity, how many do you have? I've got none, my daughter's got 1,782.

A lot of those are ones that I read but didn't mark as unread because I figured I would get to them whenever I get to them, nothing urgent, just things I want to keep 
I have a *cough* few unread emails 1,800 to be exact and I DO need to clean it out!!! I go through and delete the stuff I don't want every day that has come in but the ones I do want to read I leave, hoping to get back to them
........ they are mainly art related ones with some health ones thrown in from companies I have purchased supplements from. Business ones are taken care of each day and then moved out to a folder. One of these days I will catch up. lol!
