Email is quickly becoming the equivalent of linked in notifications. When you have 100 unread emails you might be flooded with something important. When you have 20-100 thousand unread emails: Email is broken
It's the electronic memory of nobody cares. I will potentially spend 5-30 minutes a day on email... Most days it is zero
- yoz-y 9y agoI suppose this depends on how you use it. The only mass notifications I get are from bitbucket and that is only because it does not have any other sort of notification system
- stordoff 9y agoYou don't need to read everything for it to be useful. I get email reminders of things I need to do - I don't need to read past the subject line (same with shipping notifications), and purchase receipts are useful to keep in case there is a problem (you have a searchable record of when/where you bought it) but don't need to be actively read. There's a high percentage of emails I get that I don't get any extra value from actually reading them, but I would lose value by not getting them at all.
