100 to 999

1,000 to 9,999
  • Four digits. You're in very good company.
  • Somewhere in there is a newsletter you were definitely going to read.
10,000 to 49,999
  • Five digits. That's not an inbox, that's a library.
  • Somewhere in there is a coupon that expired years ago. It's at peace.
50,000 or more
  • This isn't an inbox anymore. It's a weather system.
