Hey, hey you - you don't owe an email anything. Just leave it unread.
Feeling inspired to go unsubscribe from a bunch of junk mail and clean up old mail? Go for it.
But you shouldn't waste a second of your time feeling obligated to deal with emails sent largely by automated marketing campaigns.
At work I spend time to organize my inbox, its a necessity, on my personal email, I get security alerts & banking into separate folders, that's about it, I don't waste a moments thought on the unread count.
Recently I set up a new personal email address with a custom domain for important shit and I gave it to close friends and family. I keep my free email addresses for shit like newsletters, non critical logins etc. That new email maybe gets one email a day so it’s very easy to maintain inbox zero. But the other email addresses I can’t be bothered to clean.
Also having an email with a custom domain makes it very easy to migrate to another email provider if I ever need to. Since I can migrate the address with me.
