6000 Unread Emails & Counting

On Twitter, Adam Cotterell of Boise State Public Radio tweets: "reached a milestone. 6,000 unread emails. here's how 'that looks interesting but not important, I'll read it later.' adds up over 7 years." I use that feature on my emal that allows me to see the first graph or two. I suspect that I actually open 1 in 4 or 5 emails (even after I've added many to my spam file). How about you?

Question: What percentage of the emails that land in your inbox do you actually open? And/or: How often do you completely clean out your inbox?
