Hit 5,000 unread emails last Tuesday and just walked away from my inbox

I don't even know how it got that high. I used to keep it under 200. Then I took a week off for a family thing in March, came back to 800, and just... stopped caring. Now it's at 5,342 and I can't bring myself to open Outlook. Has anyone else just abandoned their email completely or did you find a way back?

Man, that inbox number feels like a badge of honor and a cry for help at the same time. I think this is part of a bigger thing where we let digital clutter pile up because our brains just check out from the constant noise. It's like how we ignore that stack of mail on the counter or let laundry sit for days because dealing with it feels like a second job. I wonder if you ever tried sorting it by sender or subject line to at least delete the ads and spam first, or did you just shut the lid for good?

Honestly @the_blair, did you ever actually manage to clear it out or just give up and start a new account?
