UPDATE: ReMail was acquired by Google and the app was removed from the App Store!
Apparently I have over 26,500 e-mail messages in my willw.net account!
I’ve been using this address for three years, which works out to roughly 8,833.33 e-mails/year.
A neat application for the iPhone called reMail is what brought this random fact to my attention. reMail provides full-text search for any IMAP capable e-mail account, something Apple’s Mail app sorely lacks (it searches headers only). It does this by downloading every e-mail message in your account to your iPhone, all 26,500 in my case.
If you are used to the great search in Gmail or Google Apps, like I am, there is a free version of reMail available on the App Store. If you are using any other IMAP capable service there is the regular version for $4.99 (which also includes support for multiple accounts).
By the way, if you have thousands of e-mails like I do, you may want to start downloading your messages in reMail as you are going to bed, and leave it running overnight, as it takes awhile to download!
