It definitely stresses me the hell out.
More pragmatically, its a lot easier to know from a glance what happens when your inbox grows from 0 to 30 rather than 65,580 to 65,610.
In all honesty, though, its mainly the irrational stress -- but irrational stress is still stress.
- Swizec 14y agoWhy is that different? What happens when a server starts acting up and you are flooded with 10 error emails per second. Will you go click through all of them even though they're essentially the same? That can cost you an hour of your time, easily. Ok you can write a filter and automatically mark them as read. Which still costs you at least 10 minutes of your time. Or you could just ... not care. This costs you 0 minutes of your time. You merely mentally update the "zero" of your inbox.
