What Mimecast knows about email
On this page is a snapshot of the typical inbox of an end user. We’ve used data from our grid, analyzing hundreds of thousands of emails, to give an account of typical email volumes, size and frequency. We will track this over time and keep the information regularly updated.
These shapes show how end users define email quality in their inboxes. The slider on the left shows regional differences across UK, US and South Africa. The slider on the right is our idea of what really good and really bad email quality looks like.
It’s in the interests of every business to ensure that inbox content encourages productivity and doesn’t get clogged up with too much low value information.
