I can't breathe for the e-mails

The proof of today's election can be found in my inbox.
Maybe after today I'll finally be able to catch up on my e-mails.
On a typical day, I receive about 30-40 e-mails. That's not bad; I can scan through those, pick out the junk mail and respond appropriately. But for the past few weeks, those numbers have tripled. And since Obama and Hillary made stops in Mississippi, it's gotten even worse. As an example, between last night at 8 p.m. when I left work and 10 a.m. today when I got in, I had a whopping 52 new e-mails — ranging from "Obama for America" to "James Broadwater interviews." That's out of control.
Anyone want to help sort those?
... what, no takers?
