Workers Return to Inboxes Full of Spam

It's being dubbed a "spamalanch" by communications consulting firm Expert Messaging, who estimate that e-mail power users may have over 3,000 unread messages awaiting them this morning, 70-percent of which would be spam. That's a daunting prospect, but it seems a bit unrealistic to us -- who could really go two weeks without at least checking their e-mail? [From: Mail Online]

Having a couple issues to monitor over my 2 week break, I checked my work email every two days or so. Each time I had right at a full screen (50) of spam to delete. Judging from my trash, looks like about 470 messages in 17 days.
I'm just glad they upgraded our Exchange webmail client right before break, since we didn't have 'Check All' before..

My employer uses a spam filter which is very effective. Maybe, Maybe 1 or 2 messages a month get past. That and I have a blackberry, so I check my mail very frequently.
