Projected Annual Spam Count

I decided to try to figure out how many pieces of spam I receive into my business email account on an annual basis. Normally, I empty the Spam folder every couple days, but last Monday I decided to let it fill up for a week. So as of today, Sunday, I have 300 spam messages in that folder.

300 per week

times 52 weeks

equals

15,600 pieces of spam received annually

Holy crap! Can you believe that? And that's just w/my business email address - it doesn't include my personal email address. What a waste of time, both for the recipients, and the senders.
