When I came in to work this morning my inbox had 400+ unread items (along with about 1000 read items). Now it has 3 items. Next I need to tackle the disaster that is my inbox at home.

Were those SPAM or just ignored work requests? (I seem to remember stories you used to write...)
My current inbox at the office contains 2500 messages, none of which are spam... (I do get about 60 - 100 a day, though. But I have defined a few filters in Outlook to shuffle them off to another folder for later guffaws)
At home I get one or two spams a day. Or rather, that's what get past my spamfilter(www.spamache.com It costs a few $$$ but it really cleans out. And as it doesn't use SpamCop's blacklist, very few legitimate mails gets lost)
A little of each. I don't really cound system reports as SPAM, but I treat them as such for the most part. And there are some work requests that are... better off ignored.
I didn't actually delete that much mail, rather I moved most of it to a .pst file hidden away on my share drive. I'm only supposed to have 100mb of space on that drive, but my .pst file already takes up 675mb of that. I'm still waiting for somebody to notice.
Oh, and System reports ARE spam. They are at least unwanted... (Can't call them commercial, as I work in a government department)
Nobody tells me how much I can keep on my share, though. (I'm a BOFH, I can do whatever I want)
At home, though... I only use my PDA to read email, so I only have about 150MB archived away... (In biiiig .zip files) It should have been more, but there was this one accident which resulted in me losing almost a year's worth of mails. (I'm better at backing up now)
