Re: Ideas to solve the 'too many unread emails' problem
Really, this is a big problem for everyone.
The simplest way is to block unwanted mail address.
In yahoo u can do this by following procedure :
open ur accout - open options - block address - write email id to block - click ok.
I dont know any such idea for gmail.
Be Proud to be a CEan.

Ctrl + A, Shift + Delete
Heh, just kidding! Generally do not allow the mails to pile up on you. Else, do as Ash says, have filters on the inbox and classify your mails. I make it a point to keep my inbox empty (66 mails in my inbox today ... targeting to cut them down to size by EOD)

Don't read forwarded emails
Don't read newsletters
Don't read Facebook, hi5, jaxor...etc invitations
Don't read emails with subject contains a big label like Microsoft written in my native language (arabic in my case)

Re: Ideas to solve the 'too many unread emails' problem
I get a large volume through work where I could never read and reply to everything(that's all I'd get done then) so what I do using Outlook is have the preview function on so you can see the beginning of the message or even the full thing if it is short in your Inbox without opening the message. I can then quickly scan the message getting the info I need and either reply, save to a folder or delete after that. I use a lot of folders as it is good to recall information later and it helps if there ever is a disagreement or issue.

to prevent spams, why not use temporary e-mail addresses for filling out registration forms. this way spammers don't get hold of your e-mail address. here are some websites providing temporary e-mail service.
1. Mailinator - Let Them Eat Spam!
2. GuerrillaMail.com » Disposable Temporary E-Mail Address
