Female Mailboxes

From Lisbeth..."women are better at organising their mail (deleting it in their inbox) and are more happy about using email as a form of communication than their male counterparts which would rather use the phone (59%)." Article found here.

"The survey was made by Xerox and actually builds on interviews with 508 managers. From the scientific point of validity, I wonder how many of these are actually women?

The most interesting thing about the Politiken article is that they have a little onsite survey asking people how many mails they have in their inbox. Today, the stats look like this (I hope Politiken is not going to sue me for quoting this):
0 12%
1 - 50 36%
51 - 100 11%
101 - 250 10%
251 - 500 9%
501 - 1.000 7%
More than 1.001 14%
(3170 people had done the poll at the time of writing)

I find the fact that 14% have more than 1001 mails in their inbox comforting.
I've started to feel like a very disorganised woman - I read all my mails but I havent found the time to sort them since august, so I've currently reached a peek of 1626 mails in the inbox. How many mails do you have in yours? Do you feel disorganised? "



I have to organize my Inbox, it makes me crazy if it isn't. Is this gendered?
Hmmm. I only have 58 in my Inbox - but I do have 24,450 in my sent file!! Not including the sent emails, I have 6922 emails in my email program right now, filed under assorted headings. yikes!
