For shame, you're following half as many people as I am, and you let it get to that state?
(take your time, don't do it all in one go.)

I have not one single unread email. So far I have many thousands of emails. Not once did I use the "mark all read" button. This tends to amaze my friends. If you just look at one full page every day it should start to drop.

I just dont clear out my submission inbox so mine piles up after looking at em >.> im almost at 3k lol
That blip of animation looks great!

Ahhh, I'm in the same situation. Fast approaching 4000. I told myself I wouldn't let this happen.

Cute animation, though!
