Do you check your emails more than ten times every day?

I just got a survey in my email box that asked how often I checked my emails daily. And, I had to answer truthfully, ten plus times daily. It's sad! I spend more time with my email box than my cats. But, for the most part, I'm just checking in to see if any of the My Lot friends have posted a topic so I don't miss anything. What about you? How many times daily do you check the emails? Do you think you check yours more than other people or less?

i most certainly don't check mine more than 10 times per day LOL! personally i use my msn address as my main e-mail, i have it set up so that if i am online i am signed in and i will be notified if i get an e-mail. other than that, i check it at around 11 am when i get my first chance near my pc and then i will check it before i go to bed if i have been off line for a couple of hours.

I didn't think about that how many times I check my email during the day. I keep a tab open for it till I log off. So I would say about 5-10 or more. Now my other ones I don't check like my main one though.

i would probably say upto about 5 times a day. that is enough for me lol. 10 times is a bit to much for me, as i need to get study done, and i also working and when get home to tired. and i live on a farm so have animals to attend to

Hm.. not so often and since I have my messanger always on, I will know if someone has responded to me from mylot cause it will have a little message box to the lower left. So at the end of the day i will open it just to erase all the un needed emails. Or I will open it unless there is something important I need to read.

I have 2 accounts. One I only check twice a day - when I get up and before I go to bed. The other I check about 4 or 5 times a day. I like to keep up to date with responses to discussions in Mylot, and my friends also email me at that account. I think for me to check my account over 10 times a day would take me all day to do LOL.

I think so. And probably I will check my emails more than ten times everyday. Anyway, when I am online. I often check my emails. Sometimes it'll be nice to see a special email which you have waited for a long time. I love China

I don't check my mails more than 10 times a day. It's not that there isn't anything important in my mail but it just so happens that i check it more at night where i assume all messages in my inbox are already there... then I'll call it a day.. =)
