HOW did you end up with 2000+ unread emails?
WHY do you have so many web-mail accounts? Web mail is insecure,
and used mainly for spam and by the clueless. Look up "SMTP" and
"POP3".
Since I doubt you'll be reading many of these emails anyway, and
it seems a fairly sure thing that you are receiving
dozens/hundreds every day, WTF do you need your tray icons to
TELL you that "you have mail"?
Turn them off! (Look in help files for how.)
To directly answer your question, I do not believe they use much
system resources and they certainly don't download anything.
They just tell you email has arrived, but as I just said,
*especially* in your case it seems kind of pointless.

Savagery of the relationships between people. Here, everyone is
on the make, all of them doing their damndest to take someone
else by surprise, to relieve this man of his property, to enjoy
that girl's flesh. There is no gentleness, there are only
pleasures. Eyes which already devour the easy prey offered them,
eyes which seek out the chink in the armour, the weak point, the
little patch of pale skin into which the nails can sink and
bring blood spurting out. Spying eyes, fierce eyes, sharp eyes
which loathe and wound. A look which passes summary judgment, a
knowing look, one which wants, not to understand, but to keep at
a distance, to consume at a distance. A kind of tentacle, eye-
sucker clamped to the intellect's stomach. The world is not
pure. The world is free, roamed by wild animals, inhabited by
greedy, hate-filled monsters. Loneliness, indifference: hatred.
