I also just came across this:
SEPTEMBER 27, 2002 (IDG NEWS SERVICE) - 'As if the strain that spam
and e-mail alerts are putting on in-boxes weren't enough already, expect
even more in the coming years as the overall number of e-mail messages
doubles from 31 billion a day now to 60 billion a day by 2006, market
researcher IDC predicts.'

So if you compare the information in this article and the one in RLG
Diginews, email volume appears to have decreased! This demonstrates
quite well my feeling that reliable statistics of this sort are hard to
come by.
Cheers,
Maureen.
