      Same. Having badges constantly populated basically ensures that I’m gonna miss something important. But once it gets to 4 digits on email… yeah there’s no catching up without mass deletion. And you don’t want to delete something important.

        There is. You need to filter your e-mails by sender then select all but ones you might inspect. This way you may be able to delete 2000 mails within half an hour. After that you start at the top and shortly review everthing left. You will need a keyboard to be fast. E.g. a better mail user agent (MUA).

      I started a habit of occasionally archiving all my emails to achieve an empty (or nearly empty) inbox.
