I used to maintain a zero unread mailbox. At some point I stopped. Email is just a public global todo list, than any one can write to. It's okay not to read them all.

You can always delete the mail without reading and keep your zero unread mailbox.

well, I don't care anymore. I just unsubscribe and run sieve filters to get rid of junk mail. That's something I hate with a passion!

I get three seperate emails every single time I purchase something and pay digitally. It's unfeasible to keep a zero inbox.

The only reason my inbox stopped being 100% read as soon as I got an email was because 99% of the email became spam.
