How many?

No more than 10 messages. I hardly ever get that many messages.. Even if I am gone for a month or so..

Is it need to respond ? I dont know. I am a novie

When I was away on vacation last year I came back to 475 messages in my inbox. And I actually went through each mylot notification I got, which was about 350. It took me a few days. I didn't mess around with discussions I couldn't write more than three lines about. That is probably why I am made it through them. I only bothered with the ones I could go in depth with.

You are going to be very very busy I know, with so many messages to respond to. And, I am sure all the myLotters are waiting for your responses. Keep busy ! Have a nice day !

I guess 200 mails. I didn't read it. Instead I deleted it and open a gmail account. Lol.

That is a lot of message for just one week, the most I've had in my inbox is 250 and that was just for three days. I guess if you have a lot of message in you inbox every day and then just stop checking them then I guess you would have a lot when you came back. But I say just deal with them one by one until you clear them all out, but I hope you know that is going to take to a long time it will take you even longer becaeus you are in school.

Hey friend even im facing the same problem i have my college started it very tough for me because even my timings have been very limited and i cant just post daily i dont want to respond all the discussions of my friends unless and until i find it intresting so i turned off the notifications so no mails regarding the notification is found in my email..

ive been taken some rest about 3 days and like you have some 150 emails inside..and mostly email notifications from my lot!!and right now im responding each and everyone starting and the middle...that way i can finish fast the first emails i had received during my absence...

Well, you are active member of mylot and thats why you receive such a huge mail for all of your activities, isn't it. I have never been so active and hence not received such response :). Yes, this is really impossible all the times to respond all mail like that. Thanks

I too am trying to clear my few hundred notifications. What I try to do is to sort out my notifications. New Comments and New Responses to my postings get priority. Then comes the discussions from the various members on my friend's list. I try to sort them out so that I can clear one member's postings at a time. That way, I am clear what I have responded to and what I have not. Everyday a little by little, I will eventually clear them all. Just that now, due to a busy schedule, it will take a little longer than usual.

It was amazing to find that I had 206 messages in my box. But most of them junk e-mail

200 messages are a real lot. WOW! Have the number been reduced by now...? I don't really make it a point to on all of my friends' discussions' notifications. In fact, I make it a point to regularly visit their profiles and check manually whether they have discussions. And I have quite a list of my favorite friends that I love to hang out in their discussions, if you get what I mean. But when I have to go away for a day or two, I will start to on my notifications, so that it'll be easier for me to get organized once I get back. Since I'm mostly in mylot nowadays, I do check manually. Though it's a bit tedious, it's more fun that way and I don't go for newer discussions. Sometimes I answered discussions that were way back just because I feel like answering them. Have a nice day and I'm glad you are back now, and hopefully more active as ever.

The last I look it was 300+, and that was two weeks ago. I don't want to look at it anymore really. And my notifications is only on comments and responses that I get and not on the discussions my friends started. But I will look at it sometime this week and try to respond on comments first. I am thinking of turning my notification off for responses that I get. Have a nice day!
