The game is set up so you can only send out 110 gifts/day. If you have 110 friends and everyone responds you get 110 TYs and perhaps 110 new gifts back. That's a total of 220 items in your inbox.so you have plenty of space to only empty the inbox every 2 days. That should be fine for any player who is active at least every other day. What if you don't play every day? Same 220 things after you have played a day. After that, no TYs since you are not sending things out so 110 new items per day... You have enough space to only play every 4 days.

It maybe crazy but I suspect that MT thinks this is reasonable. Especially since it it their servers and database that have to deal with doubling the size to 1000 since your machine may be unavailable while you are not playing. In short it is not MT's problem that we choose to have more friends or friends that twist the intent of the game to gift in batches and thus overflow the inboxes.
