As well as the usual work e-mails, though, your inbox can get clogged with unnecessary correspondences that quickly become the the bane of your life.

Such as…

1. Getting caught up in an e-mail thread with 19 other people.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Before you know where you are, it’s 35 messages deep and you can’t deal.

2. One-word replies.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Or as The New York Times wrote, “Some people are so rude. Really, who sends an e-mail or text message that just says ‘Thank you’?

3. All those newsletters you thought it would be wise to subscribe to, but have never read once.

Admit it. The closest you come to actually reading them is selecting “mark as read”.

4. Worse still? Getting an e-mail confirming you have unsubscribed.

LEAVE MY INBOX ALONE.

5. Messages from Twitter/Facebook inviting you to “find your friends”.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

6. Any and all correspondences with LinkedIn.

For the 147th time, I don’t want to have a free trial of LinkedIn Premium.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

7. E-mails from deals websites.

Oh, a laser nail fungal treatment for 25% off? Thank you for e-mailing me about that.

They also pose a danger to those susceptible to drunk purchases.

8. E-mails that contain disclaimers that are longer than War and Peace.

Oh, you care about the environment? Tell us in ten words or less.
