How often do you check your email?

Personal: Twice a day (at lunch and before i go to bed)   Work: Throughout the day out of necessity.  My compulsion has helped me add to this clever project routinely!

A whole lot. I check it in the morning before work, when I get home from work, before I got to sleep, and at various times in between.

This answer really depends on if I'm expecting mail or not. If friends are supposed to write back to me, sometimes I check it five or six times a day.  There have been times when I've checked it more than a dozen  times in one day just to see if I've gotten a reply from that "special someone" of mine.

3-4 times a day...more if I'm expecting something  I can't really say what i would be expecing, but...well, yeah

Anthony, 25

At work, I check it constantly throughout the day because it's how I communicate with other departments. At home, once a day.

Nicole

I have 3 emails accounts, 2 personal and one at work. I check my work email constantly during the day and check my personal email at least once a day.

Every hour I'm online, about. Almost every ten minutes if I'm expecting something.

it checks itself every five minutes i check it out when it says i have mail and i'm here to read it

Firelady, 22

At work I have my email program opened all day long and messages are brought to me throughout the day. At home I check my personal account twice a day and the 2000days project 1-2 times a day.

Felicia, 34
Somerville,

I try to check it once every day during the week. Since I usually go away on the weekends I can't check then. I try to keep up as much as I can!!

Tracy, 24

If I am working from home every day. But Thursday - Sunday I rarely look at it.

Janet, 42

Hourly or more...I'm busy!!

Helena, 31

At work, whenever I get an arrival message. At home, a couple of times a day.

Jane, 60
West Linn,
OR

Every day. I usually have six to twelve e-mails a day.

Jeremy, 13
Highlands Ranch,
CO

I couldn't even begin to count the number of times that I check my work email. I work in a remote office and almost all of my communication is through email and phone. I check my home email at least once a day.

Laura, 35
Lowell,

How long is a rope? The number of times that I check my e-mail depends on the rest of the day and how much computer time I have available.

Jill, 59
Saylorsburg,
PA

Every day during the week all day long. Only place Ihave email right now...still too cheap to buy a computer for home.

Katie, 24
Seminole

Very frequently while I am at work. I don't have a computer at home.

Kathy, 26
Garden City,

I check my POP3 email every day, but I'm a tad slack with my web based email account, and usually check it once every 2 or 3 days.

Shanna, 15
Cardiff ENGLAND

About twice a day.

Alias Irrelevante

Anytime I'm near and/or on the computer, so at least 10 times a day.

Amy, 23
Baton Rouge,
LA

The company e-mail I check two or three times a day. My personal e-mail I try to check once a day, sometimes I skip a day or two.

Pamela, 38
Sugar Hill,
GA

not often enough i guess, cuz i have 63 new messages

Angela, 16
Bella Vista,
AK

I used to check it every day. Now I check it maybe once or twice a week.  It's mostly spam, and I don't think about checking it as much as I used to.

Socrates One
Lowell, MA

Once or twice a day, I try not to become too obsessive about it.

Nikki, 27
Kirkham ENGLAND

Prob'ly thrice a day, when I'm home. Or maybe more.  When I'm not home. . .maybe twice a week, give or take.
