I get about 20-30 spam emails per day, maybe 10 of them end up in my mailbox, rest get filtered. So it's not really THAT bad, but for someone less knowledgable it can be a big problem. For example, my dad before I taught him how to work with the email on the internet, had his account up to 100s of spam emails per day, and that was within only a few months of getting on the internet. At that point his email address was just about unusable.

I have no idea how anyone can keep a straight face and say that everything is "ok" when that happens, and that the solution is to "just delete it."

And even if you look at my 10 emails per day, it doesn't look like THAT much, but if it takes 5 seconds to delete each one, that's about 1 min a day. Over a year, that's around 360 mins or 6 hours. 6 hours wasted sorting through penis pills, porn sites, or mortgage deals that I would NEVER order anyway.
