I can not function with an overfilled inbox. It causes me too much stress. I’ve managed mine closely for years. I don’t know what I’d do if mine got that full. I’d probably sort to get rid of all calendar responses and look at small sizes which are often people saying thanks or ok or something else that doesn’t require an actual email. Sort and delete all newsletters. Sort and delete anything more than 2 months old - if they haven’t written you again, it’s likely not that important.
After that the number is hopefully more manageable?
