I was getting at culling surplus/extraneous things you had subscribed to, but if all 500 emails are needed, you do you (and make that money with a heavy cognitive load!)
But it is not heavy cognitive load. Thanks to filters and automation...
I get like 20 emails daily that get through filters, land in my inbox and need my urgent attention. I can not imagine being directly exposed to unfiltered stream of junk, and trying to fish out emails from my boss.
