how many emails are sent every day all over the world?
VeriSign’s estimate indicated that email queries alone are about 2.25 billion per day. However, due to caching, email queries may be only a fraction of the number of emails sent. In 2001, International Data Corporation (IDC) predicted the number of emails sent each day would exceed 36 billion by 2005. We probably sent more emails than they thought because in 2003, they said we had already reached 31 billion emails per day!! IDC expected this figure to double by 2006. While one can’t be too sure, ( the figure is perhaps lower than higher) we probably send 62 billion emails the world over per day. Although huge amounts of business get done over email, many errors continue to be committed. These reflect poorly on the sender as well the sender’s organisation. Here are a few of the more common errors. I recently received a mail with so many abbreviations that I couldn’t understand half of what was written. It was sprinkled with ?4Us, IACs, IMHOs, apart from the rash of Smileys and ended wit
