I don't know of any statistics, but any stats older than, say, two
years would be suspect.  The flood of unsolicited e-mail has to have
negatively effect productivity.  If I am out for a couple of days, I
can have 200+ e-mails, most of them SPAM, and that is after SPAM
filtering software.  Fortunately I don't use Outlook, but the lost
time to e-mail viruses that pass thru Microsoft's product ought to be
factored in too.

I'd be interested in seeing any research or statistics.  I'm just not
sure I'd share them with clients.
