A good week ago I tested Mozilla Thunderbird using IMAP. I created a statistic after seeing the mass of emails.
| Emails | received | send | received / day | send / day |
| last week | 902 | 334 | 128,86 | 47,71 |
| last month | 3728 | 589 | 120,26 | 19 |
| last year | 19377 | 1833 | 53,09 | 5,02 |
| previous year | 3070 | 434 | 8,41 | 1,19 |
The number of daily emails is continuously increasing. The last week was a peak of course. The average is probably something between the values of last year and last month. The increased email usage has various reason. One big reason is the increased involvement in the free software community. For example my GNOME-Colors directory contains 881 mails.
How many emails do you receive/send in a day?
