The average user receives 86 emails per day?! And I get a bit overwhelmed if I receive more than 3. Kinda puts things into perspective :-)

50% of that is spam that is blocked. At least 50% of the rest is spamish but not spam spam.

So don't feel too overwhelmed!

But is it spam spam spam spam?
I'm guessing for most people 80-85 of those 86 are caught by a spam filter and are never seen.
