A. Statistics, extrapolations and counting by Radicati Group from October 2007 estimate the number of emails sent per day (in 2006) to be around 183 billion.

183 billion messages per day means more than 2 million emails are sent every second. About 70% to 72% (or between 128 and 132 billion) of them might be spam and viruses. The genuine emails are sent by around 1.2 billion email users.
