How do you manage it?
Like I sit down prob once a fortnight and look at the messages. I’m here for the forums and event adverts really. I’m too busy with work/uni/kids to ‘chat’.
Do you Look at it all the time? Do you delete a message once it’s read?
I get called ignorant a lot but it’s not that I haven’t replied.. I just won’t have read their message.
I ought to hide my profile or something really but I do like to hear from friends if they are arranging anything.

I like to think I keep on top of messages, but in reality, my inbox is a mess. I reply to people I like immediately, delete those that are rude or mingin straight away and occasionally have a few ‘unsure’ ones that tend to linger in my inbox. These are the ones causing the problem  |

If I'm in the mood - I'll look at the messages right away. If not - will leave them for later (could be a few days). Far too many message trying to catch you online and then every time you log in. Helps to filter those impatient, pushy ones. |

"An inbox? What's that? 
A question many a man asks around here 
As if. I bet yours is fuller than a greedy kids pick and mix. "
Wrong! Most of the time it's more barren than the Sahara. Single guy remember? |

sometimes if a message catches my eye, i'll read it.
most of the time i don't keep on top of it, and end up bulk deleting quite often.
like you OP, im called all the names under the sun for not reading/responding to a message (regardless of the reason/s why!)

I deal with mine straight away during waking hours. I guess that is because I am used to being all over the other inboxes in my life.
I reply even with a no thanks unless it is vile and then I delete.

We only get about 8-10 new messages a week so easy to keep on top off especially as there are two of us. We try to reply to all even if it’s a no thank you and delete. However we have been known to just delete a hello message if we check the profile and there not much there.

I reply ASAP usually and if I can’t send a well articulated message, I’ll let them know I will reply in due course and state I’m currently busy, as manners cost nothing.
Although, yesterday I had 148 and it took me hours to go through them! |

I look but I am more of a forum poster than inboxer. I read when I feel like I have energy to reply "properly" mostly. Sometimes I tackle it in instalments. |

It's impossible to stay on top of it or ever get through it... my unread mail is automatically deleted by site system |

I never really got a message that was more than ‘hi how’s you’ so I just put my filters on. I only get messages from people that are friends and it’s so much more fun that way |
