How Often

[jennyjoan]

How often do you look at your emails. Have sent some emails of a little importance but do not get replies. So will not be sending any more.

[Baldric]

Now I'm no longer working from home just once a day 0900ish.

[jennyjoan]

I would say many people would look at them once a day too.

[RATTER15]

A few times a day. I have often emailed companies for various reasons, more often than not they never reply.

[Barmaid]

I think it depends what you do. I check mine several times an hour if I am working from home. If I am out at work, I probably do not check them more than once a day. I rarely check them at weekends (this is because there is the possibility that my weekend can be ruined).

Yet others I know do not check every day. My mother, for example, probably checks hers once every 3 or 4 days.

[Cloverjo]

About once a day. Most of them are from companies that I've bought things from and I ignore them until I delete them once a week.

[andy-hughes]

Constantly.

I receive my work via e-mails during the day, and I receive my part-time work from e-mail during the evening.

If I am in front of my PC. my e-mail alerts flash up and I check them.

[viv41]

I check my emails just once a day jj. People don't always reply straightaway.

[mikey4444]

My company uses email as a business tool, so I check mine every time I get an alert on my iphone.

[Prudie]

At work constantly, at home every evening. I also get work e-mails on a blackberry out of working hours so every time it pings

[mikey4444]

Prudie....you are never really alone with a Mobile, are you !

[Prudie]

No Mikey, long gone are the days you walked out of work and could forget about it until the next day.

[mikey4444]

Prudie....I have had an email address since about 1991, when I worked for BT.

When I first had one, there was no one else I could contact, as nobody else I knew had one !

[Barmaid]

The problem that email brings is that it is "instant". In the old days we sent letters and if it was really urgent, a fax. Now everyone dashes off emails left right and centre. I was out all day Monday and someone emailed me about 3pm. At 12pm the next day they were on the phone saying "did you get my email, I havent heard". When did everything become so flaming urgent?!!!!

[Ken4155]

I have about a dozen on line gambling accounts and i check my emails a couple of times per day because i am regularly sent emails from them with offers.

[jennyjoan]

this email was sent last Sunday re an appointment this Friday

[viv41]

I agree Barmaid ...

I make a point of forgetting about work , when i leave the office

[Samuraisan]

At work constantly, at home in the evenings Inhave decided to never. I put my iPhone Manual Push so unless I touch the icon, none will
Arrive and I can relax. There will be nothing that can't wait until working hours.

[marval]

I usually check mine once a day, when I log the computer on.

I only check more often if I am expecting one.

Interesting moves in this area by France:

Should governments step in to regulate work emails and so rescue harassed staff from the perils of digital burnout? The answer in France appears to be "Yes". President Francois Hollande's Socialist Party is about to vote through a measure that will give employees for the first time a "right to disconnect".
