The problem with most email we get is that isn’t simply spam, just really boring and worthless. I’m on mailing lists for the most mundane junk, generated by people I perhaps had business with a decade ago and who have ported, exported and imported my email address to their databases ever since.
Ladies and Gents, I’d like to introduce you to another person who doesn’t know how to use email. This person can spend 1 hour a day for a month setting up rules, filters, unsubscribing from lists and services and informing people and press that they don’t want to be contacted any more and then email becomes a small part of their day with zero effort at all. 1400 emails in 3 weeks? I bet almost all of that is spam.
I would quit email too if I was so bad at it.
