Yeah, and that is 111 mails TOTAL. Avarage spam/ham ratio is
supposedly about 2 worldwide, so if it is like that for you too, it
is more like 55 legitimate emails per day.

So, perhaps doable if you don't do email much, don't get much spam,
and you're not subscribed to any mailing lists nor newsletters, nor
do you have any automated e-mails enabled.

But if you actually use E-mail, it's more than likely going to shut
you off.
