'A new study from the Pew Internet and American Life Project finds that overwhelming levels of e-mail are quite atypical, an outcome that surprised even the researchers. "All of the anecdotal evidence you hear from people out there is, 'I'm so overwhelmed by the volume of e-mail,' " said Deborah Fallows, a senior research fellow at Pew. "The perception comes from the people who are talking most loudly about it, those few who are most overwhelmed." In fact 60 percent of Americans who use e-mail at work receive 10 or fewer messages on an average day, the study released Sunday found. Only 6 percent receive more than 50.
