Uh?

Is having received a little over 11,000 e-mails for work in a year a lot?  I'm just trying to figure out if I should be stunned by the number of e-mails I received or if it's just kind of normal.

That's about 50 emails a day - not too egregious.

It depends on your work.

I happen to have the stats for the email servers I maintain in front of me because we're in the middle of an upgrade. The median is 10 or fewer emails in a day BUT the average is around 20 emails, swayed upwards by a couple clients who run large companies and refuse to use spam filtering.

I just checked -- 39,000. I am depressed now.

For your kind of job, that sounds about right. I have a friend who does communications. She averages 400 emails a day.

I used to average 70-100 a day when I was doing tech support, not counting trouble tickets and phone calls.
