If I took this approach with my clients, they'd award me with a zero inbox count for perpeturity.

  Whether that's by design or something you wrongly believe to be true, congratulations, you have allowed your e-mail to enslave you.

    I think you're missing a key distinction. My clients, wouldn't begrudge me a vacation. They would however, be quite offended if my autos-responder told them their message has been deleted. Quite frankly, it comes off as rude. You wouldn't forgive 'BigCorp' for replying to you this way, why should a small business be any different?

  Assuming you have more than five clients, I just don't buy this. Maybe some would but not 100%. Also your inbox count wouldn't be zero unless you have a very unique inbox.

    Yes, the 'Zero' is a bit hyperbolic. At a bare minimum I'd of course still have Russian-Brides and Nigerian Prince's to keep me company...

      Forward the Russian-Bride emails to the Nigerian Princes and you're done.
