3573 emails ~ Internet
Just returned from a wonderful 3 week vacation and thought I might want to "quickly" check out my email messages which had come while I was away.
Turns out I had 3573 messages waiting for me! Not that I am such a popular guy, because most of it was SPAM. Those idiots!
In the end it took my email client (Microsoft Outlook) more than 90 minutes to download it all, first filtering through my spam killer application, including the many errors which occurred because of the immense volume (resulting in timeouts and retries).
All in all, after filtering out all the junk I ended up with around 156 relevant messages, e.g. those meant for me and those I appreciate receiving.
Not that bad, I would think. I am still kind of a popular guy.
