According to VanceTan Online’s questionare, an average email user receives at least 40-50 valid emails per day. The emails usually takes up about a few megabytes of online storage per day and it is predicted to increase as years passed. This is mainly due to the increasing amounts of chain emails that was send throughout by colleagues and friends.

As to conserve all of our email storages and online spaces, it is more advisable for all of us to play important roles to reduce the problem of email overloads. Please do think before sending an email because that one email could cause another email to be overloaded. The eight best practices to avoid emails overloads are right in front of you:

1. Avoid sending too much chain letters, as the emails send through chain letters usually contains more information as the chain goes longer. This could of course need more email storages.

2. Avoid using the “send to all” or “reply to all” button in your email sender or any similar email sending programmes.

3. Reduce the length of emails where possible because the more irrelevant words you enter in an email, the space taken would be more.

4. Do not subscribe to too many sites. Email subscription enables sites to send you relevant emails but subscribing to too much servers may also lead to email overload.

5. Avoid sending too large files or attachments in daily emails. Large email attachments increase the capacity of the email.

All measures applicable to everyone having an email account and email inbox.
