when it’s 9:22 pm and you see that the last message in your inbox came in at 7:30 pm. It’s rare to go nearly 2 hours without incoming mail that survives the junk filter (the most excellent [SpamBayes](http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/)). So you check the “Junk Email Folder” and relax when you see that the last spam was logged in at 9:12 pm so you know that your email isn’t down, it’s just that no one has had anything to say to you, inform you about or sell to you in the last 2 hours.

Seriously, that’s not as pathetic as it sounds…I have clients across a few time zones so it typically takes until at least 9-10 pm for my email traffic to slow to a steady stream of just overnight junk.
