For a couple of years now, I normally receive over a hundred of emails every day. That does not include the questions and messages I get thru Twitter and Facebook.
It gets worse when I’m on vacation or on a trip where I don’t have enough time to go online. Emails get buried very easily and I wish I can just delete my Inbox altogether.
As of this writing, I have 595 unread emails and a few hundred more un-answered ones. So sorry if you’ve emailed and I haven’t answered back… yet.
P.S. To those who asked, I actually have a personal assistant who helps me out with answering emails, among others. However, I think it only covers like 10% of the emails — ones that can be easily answered and need not have to be confirmed with me. The others are business communications, reader inquiries and people asking for advise, etc.

gmail filters is a very useful feature. I also use it to filter FB emails just as how Mito described
Mito says:
regarding facebook emails, what I did is instead of making new account, I created a folder for facebook emails and set up filter that will directly put all facebook emails to that folder. gaya sa outlook. mas manageable. :)

uso na ngayon ang crowdsourcing. Just refer all your emails asking for help or advice that can be ANSWERED BY OTHERS to a popular say filipino message board. madami ang sasagot sa kanila doon
I answer and ask a lot of questions on www,tipidpc.com and www. pinoydsl.net

hows your SMS inbox?
khen says:
Oo nga nakakainis yung facebook emails na yan. Sobrang dami sa inbox ko.huhuhuhu. Pero pwede naman i-adjust yung setting ng facebook notification emails tulad nito: http://www.affordablecebu.com/load/internet/how_to_disable_facebook_updates_or_notifications_in_your_email/14-1-0-465 – makakatulong ito ng malaki para ma-prioritize ninyo kung anu-ano yung mga mahahalagang mga emails.

Kahit nga yung Google nagrereklamo din sa dami ng facebook email.
binaryboy says:
it simply translates that yuga has got so many subscribers. yuga serves as a good role model for bloggers who want to earn money online.
no to inbox says:
deleting your inbox = deleting your email account

NemOry says:
What if you hire an assistant to read important inboxes and to inform you and delete the nonsense ones.hehe or if you can’t hire any, im here sir. Haha

Manny | Job Philippines says:
it’s really hard to answer emails that much. Imagine over 100 emails per day.
Ben says:
That is why I always have my mails filtered and sorted into folders.
Glenn | GLICH'S LIFE says:
So I am lucky that I got a reply from you. Haha! The life of a techie god like you!
Arnold Gamboa says:
Ah, that’s probably the reason why you haven’t replied bac to my email :D
Da says:
put up a Communication Protocols like this guy- http://tantek.pbworks.com/w/page/19402879/CommunicationProtocols
Andre says:
That’s what features like the “Gmail Priority Inbox” are for. I’m pretty sure a couple of hundred emails in those inbox of yours are not urgent, such as emails or inquiries from dear readers of yours.

Maybe it’s time you hire a secretary to manage/answer all these messages?
