Spam worldwide
It is almost impossible to think about e-mail without considering the issue of spam, which usually includes billions of promotional e-mails marketers send daily. As of January 2023, the United States had the highest number of spam e-mails sent daily. While many e-mail users believe such content belongs in their spam folder, marketing e-mails are generally harmless if annoying to the user.
