> Email Statistics: 347.3 billion emails sent daily without major issues, serving 4.37 billion email users worldwide as of 2023.

The average user receives 86 emails per day?! And I get a bit overwhelmed if I receive more than 3. Kinda puts things into perspective :-)

I'm guessing for most people 80-85 of those 86 are caught by a spam filter and are never seen.

50% of that is spam that is blocked. At least 50% of the rest is spamish but not spam spam.

So don't feel too overwhelmed!
