Be honest....
I practice unique email addresses per company/user on my own domain. They leave? Lets give them a new one and blacklist the previous adress.

0, and I always either delete or archive (depending on whether it might be useful at a later point) any email in my inbox after I read it to keep it clean.
I can't either. I had 12 because I've not been up long.
A couple months back I went through and marked every single email as read in my inbox, and now I keep up with it every day. I currently have 0. Feels good.
Keeping up with at least opening every email I get also allows me to unsubscribe to the annoying ones with extreme prejudice.
The one that's been baffling me is "Instant Gaming"... I never signed up for their service, had never even heard of it before. I started getting weekly emails. I went to go unsubscribe, and in order to unsubscribe, I need to log in, which obviously I can't do because I don't have an account. There's no way I'm going to sign up JUST to unsubscribe. I've tried contacting their customer service but nobody cares. I just set it as spam.
You might want to check if your email has been leaked since youve been getting spam from service you didnt subscribe. https://haveibeenpwned.com/
One thing i learn is never ever use your main email to register or subsribe anything. Its either going to get leaked or getting sold. Use temporary email generator or use email alias. Its easy once you got spam just delete the email address.
Or in your case, set up a rule for that address straight to oblivion. No need to bother opening the spam folder to delete it.
Yeah, my main Gmail is almost 20 years old, it's been leaked a ton, that's the one I share with people. I have a Proton mail for the really important stuff like identity-related things. There's still a bunch of services that have my Gmail as the main contact, and I've thought about going and meticulously changing them all to the Proton address, but it hasn't been a problem thus far. Plus, having a firstname.lastname gmail address is convenient, and I haven't found another service that I could switch to these days that will give me that same convenience (I've been gaining interest in self-hosting, so that's on the horizon maybe)
I get surprisingly little actual junk/spam all things considered.
Ooh. 20 years is a long time. That's understandable. Yeah, firstname.lastname email address is convenient and professional for important stuff. I have a own domain with my name for really important stuff. The rest of it, i use alias service like addy.io.
Didnt proton acquired simple login a while back. Easier to use them for email alias. I'd be wary to change all my account with my main email address. I dread the day that my email got leaked or something.
Zero. I read and clear my emails regularly. :)
None. This is golf, not Balatro

At least 100k.
I have an email account I've been using exclusively for signing up to various services for almost 30 years now. About 50 messages per day make it to the inbox, about 800 per day are added to the spam folder, god only knows how many get sent to the void. None of them get read ever, the storage limit is 25GB... so I'm guessing significantly north of 100,000 unread emails.
The email account that I use for actual communication and that I give out only to real people and even that sparingly has no unread messages and one response draft. It's easy to keep up when you get about 5 emails per month of which maybe 3 require a response.
It just says, "2K" 
Impressive
None.
I've shared this tip before, but if you want to catch up with your unread emails, there's a much faster way to do it.
Instead of going one by one, use search to filter by sender. There's probaby a TON of mails from senders who you can instantly be sure you've never received anything important from, and hence delete ALL THEIR MAILS in one go.
I'm actually not surprised that our community of folks who computer science for fun, also don't like unread messages. That said, I have 2142 between work and home. Good night and good luck!

113 because I have a side business that I stopped giving a fuck about
Zero. I heavily automate my inbox, so that I only see the important things. Aliases, sieve filters, etc.
0, and I rarely have more than handful of emails on my inbox (both personal and work).
A ungodly, deeply shameful number. I hate checking emails 😅
On my new tutanota account it's much fewer.
My oldest one is literally capped out because it's nothing but junk and confirmation bullshit that I pretty much never check.
