How Often Do You Check Your Email?

My email client is open on a regular basis like you. I just can’t seen to ever close it!

It’s open 24/7 buried behind safari tabs. haha.

On my PC it automatically opens in the background and stays on throughout my online time. If I go offline, it stops checking. As soon as I’m online, it checks every minute.

On my Mac, I have Mail set to start automatically with my login, then I just close it once done reading the emails. It runs in the background and checks every minute for new mail and every half hour for RSS feeds.

I spend more time on Twitter though. I have Blu on the PC and Tweetie on the Mac both running and checking at the fastest speeds possible. I also check it on my iPod while away from the computer.

I like to stay up to date :)

Same here, I always have it running, even if it’s in the background on at least one computer, that way i never have to make an effort to check ti

lol… I never close my notifier either I am on the computer more than 9hrs a day(wish it could be more but I have to go to school) other than that I use my time to come up with cool graphics using photoshop or sometimes even flash & if I still have some time left I read blog posts like I am reading right now…:)

I just set mine to sms me if it is directly to me, otherwise it can wait.

I have it open constantly on my computer and my iPhone.

I too am in a perpetual state of checking email. This is why, when I am working away from a base location my gadgets burn through batteries.

On vacation, I check it daily, or a few times per day, at most.

Fetych new data on my iPhone is arranged for every 15 minutes, but on my MacBook for every 1 minut so basically I never check my e-mail.
The same with Facebook, when I’m not using it on laptop I check it on iPhone app several times during one hour.
It’s so depresing how are we devoted to being in touch every second.

At work we use Outlook, and I have two e-mail addresses that funnel into the software. It’s open all the time, but sometimes I don’t refresh for a couple of hours if I’m really slammed.

At home, I keep one e-mail open almost all the time. I check my other personal e-mail accounts anywhere from once a week to once a month.

I have Outlook open all the time and most of the time I always check it immediately when I hear the “new email” sound.

I normally check my email several times per week. I do not check it daily. If I have pictures to enter onto one of my hard drives & to edit, they take priority.

I normally check my e-mail at least 3 times a day. If I’m expecting something, I’ll check it more than that. I tend to check it fairly often because I’ve got a couple RSS feeds that I’m subscribed to, using Mozilla Thunderbird. As for other things that I typically do, I’m always on Pidgin (using most of the clients that it has) and I’ll often use TweetDeck. foobar2000 for listening to music. :)

I consider Apple Mail my “third arm”, I do not know what I would do without it.

In my work I have the mail always on. And activated the option in Thunderbird to advise of incoming mails.
At home, I check at night my mail. (First I read Lockergnome newsletter). May be an hour. No more.

Between the iPhone and a GMail add-on for Firefox, I am always aware of my email status. However, I spend about a third of my computer time wandering through my feeds and checking out new technologies on Web2.0. My web server and domains take up another third, checking logs, analyzing stats, and seeing what people copy from my site using Tynt Tracer. The rest of the time I am checking out new Linux distributions or web apps.

I use my iPhone to cheach and send emails. It is set up so that it cheacks for new ones every 15 min., so I guess you could say that I’m always looking at my email at lest mote then most people.

emailed Chris this one already and got a cool response. Guess I will share this gem here too. I use a pretty cool program called Magic Mail Monitor which is Open Source. It allows to to check all your email and selective delete or read as text messages as well. If you want to read the message as intended, you can save the file as a .eml (not sure if Win7 can open .eml files) or a .mht .

I used to check my email everyday, but now since I get way too much spam I check it every once or twice a week, but MSN Messenger (which is always running when I’m on my Computer) always notifies me when I get a new email even when I’m not on my email program.

I was used to check it every 5 minutes to be fast on reacting to them.

But today, I set Mail to load them only once per hour. More often would dramatically reduce my productivity.
