I check all my email accounts first thing in the morning. Then throughout the day I check it like every little bit! Probably end up checking it like 8 or 10 times at least. Lots of times even more! How many times a day do you check your email?

It depends on whether if expecting a mail or not..if I'm expecting then more than 10 I guess..if not once a day is enough..=)

I get emails all throughout the day so I try to stay ahead of it. If I don't then in the morning I will have like over 100 emails to sort through and delete!

I usually check my e-mail 3-5 times daily. I have lots of blog and forum subscriptions..even myLot sends me notifications and they also have this myLot digest mm/dd/yy. That's why I need to check my mail every now and then. And did you just say "all my email accounts"? O.O how many email accounts do you have? I have two, by the way^^

I check it about 3-5 times a day, depending on my mood or if I am waiting for an important email. I check it constantly if there's something that important that I'm really waiting for. I sometimes get disappointed though if I refresh my inbox and there are no new mails.

I check mine several times a day also. I am usually working from my email account most of the day, doing surveys and different things.

I think when combine personal and office emails, I do check it very frequently. I never close the office email, so will check whenever the new message comes. Personal email is a bit tough. Hard to keep it opened throughout the working hours. So basically only during the lunch hours and in the evening. I hope you wont get into an email addict.

I'm almost an email addict! Not quite though! I just check it throughout the day several times. I don't have the alerts like I'd like to have so I go to the sites periodically.

Too many times for my liking. Its almost like an obsession. The other day, i told myself (well i learnt this on a forum somewhere on the web)i will check only twice a day, spend about 30mins each time, and thats it! Well, have i kept to that? Nooooooo!

Maybe 10-20 times to see if my myLot discussion has been deleted or not! Kidding!

Sometimes I check it 5-10 times an hour! Just through the day though, at night when I go home I don't have internet access so I guess I obsess some through the day!

Nowadays, I check my email everyday so those emails which are of no importance or relevance to me will be deleted staight away. I do not even bother to open the message to it. I will periodically go through my inbox and delete unwanted messages.

When I log in in the morning, starts from 8am my email stays there. That is the first one I check before I work. I do not logged out until 5pm, the time I usually go home. I check my email from time to time Monday to Saturday. During Sunday I am at home, I have no computer so I do not check on my emails during that day.

I check them all first thing in the morning and late at night before bedtime. Then if I'm at home I have the computer on to tell me when an email comes in, and if I'm at work I check them when work is slow and during lunchtime. :)

I normally check my personal email first thing in the morning, once in the afternoon when I get home from work, and at least once before going to bed. I have bills and other important communication come to my email (instead of in the mail) so if I don't check my personal email at least once a day, I get VERY behind. It's sad! My work email I have up all day while I'm at work so that comes through immediately. So I guess you could say that I'm constantly checking my email at work. I don't check my personal email at work. I prefer to keep the two separate, especially now that I'm looking for a new job! I don't want the technology team at work to search my Internet browsing history to see that I have emails coming in for other job offers. That wouldn't be good! LOL Thanks for asking.

i never count how many times i check my mails exactly. but i also check them as my first thing in the morning after i open my computer. i'll check them throughout all the day when i want or think of it, until the work is off. even after work, i also sometimes will check my personal emails.

I have this Outlook Express thing which gathers all my emails into one. I check mine not more than 5x per day. When i am in a sort of exchanging email with one of my sisters, i check it more.
