Just a lunatic question

Today, I saw someone else mail box. 100s of unread mail. How does he sleep at night?
I do not fear of failure. I fear of giving up out of frustration.

I know people with over 3000 unread messages at work
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Those are there to let everyone know how much he is occupied...

Deeply and comfortably. Most of management here seem to make it a practice of having over 1,000 unread emails at any given time. It shows that they are extremely busy and don't have time to speak with you. At least that seems to be the collective agreement in management. I try to enforce my own rule of check email at set times during the day. When I come in, halfway through my day, and before I leave. There are obvious exceptions where I've set up specific customers so it displays a notification. There are a handful where messages are more than likely it is time sensitive (or at least in their mind). Otherwise, if it is an emergency you can pick up the phone and call me.

Griff at one time had over 50K unread codeproject notifications. I know that is not email, but still. :laugh:
Currently 57,391 - and rising.

Never check email just before you leave - you might find something that means you have to stay...

HERE's a "lunatic" question ... https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/867041/How-to-set-ANY-field-in-system-catalog-using-code (please, I need an answer quickly because my assignment is due tomorrow. Thanx in advance) [insert ie8 Cool]
That's a repost of your earlier question: How to set DESCRIPTION field in system catalog using code[^] You waited 20 months after Matt posted a solution that didn't work, and rather than taking it up with Matt, or updating your question with more details, you reposted the question. :doh: That sort of behaviour is strongly discouraged.

I'm hoping they were joking.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

My wife has 10,000's of unread emails. Literally. X| She just changed email accounts. Clean slate. :laugh:

You bring up a really good point. Haven't had a bad experience yet because true emergencies that just cannot wait until the next day have only happened once or twice. Normally most things that people feel are emergencies can wait until the next day. Pretty much the only reason is that I try to extend the same courtesy that I want. If I send you a message requesting info, at least respond and let me know you saw it and that you'll get back to me. Otherwise I'll follow up in a few days trying not to think that you're either inconsiderate or lazy.
