Some email stats

I was in the process of backing up my email today from Gmail (by using Thunderbird). I think this is a good idea for anyone using Gmail just in case they lose your email or accidentally delete your account (this is rare but happens). So from February 9th 2007 to April 15th 2007 (a little over 2 month), I received and sent out a total of 1836 emails. I think <200 of that are emails I sent out, and about 1/3rd of the 1836 emails are probably personal correspondence (ie. No emails from college mailing list, computer generated emails from accounts, etc.). No spam was counted in the 1836 emails. I thought these numbers were somewhat interesting to share.

    What are you doing this summer, Mike? Are you staying at Caltech? I’ll be out in that general end of the country, running telescopes in Arizona, so maybe we can meet up some weekend if you’re there…?

    Hey Allison,

    Sorry, I won’t be staying at Caltech this summer again. I could have done research, but I decided to head back home in order to work on some internet startups…

    Awesome. I have a lot of ideas for startups, and I might be working with another friend on one of them. However, I would like to keep the ideas off of my public blog.
