You can have both. I have 0 unread emails cause the garbage goes to spam, the unimportant is marked as read and everything else is read every X hours.

The difference is probably ignore vs mass mark as read.

I find it useful cause I have a small diff for each check.

Think of it as Continuous Integration for email :)

I used to do something like that until I had to testify in a deposition about such things for a day or two. Never again.

Now I ignore, delete after a set period of time and have a written procedure in my home directory.
