I think its best to check e-mail a couple of times a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. Unless of course I know that I am receiving an important e-mail, then I check it that often. Still, its best to check it at those times at the very least. How often do you check your e-mail? Looking forward to reading your responses.

That sounds like a good practice to make. Professional is over personal at all times when dealing with e-mails, for many I am sure. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I just verify my e-mail not even once / day and that`s because i don`t know that i will receive an important e-mail but since i`ve aplied to some jobs , i must say that i log in into my e-mail about 2 time / day because i really want to find out sooner that i will go to an interview and maybe to be hired .

When I am expecting something like that, I tend to frequent my e-mail very often. When opportunity knocks, you got to check right away. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I have 2 emails that I check several times a day. I do tons of sites like survey sites etc and like to check if I recieved amazon cards or got money in my paypal etc. Plus I'm on Facebook alot so I like to see if I have any new notifications from my friends.

When you are a lot of websites, I think that its obviously a good thing to check e-mail often. Because there are a lot of important messages that get through. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

sometimes i do, if it's about something important, but if it's about usual notifications and sites i visit, i usually just delete and go about my business.

I have three accounts: two on Gmail and one on Hotmail. The Gmail accounts are the most important so I have them on my Ipod. It's very easy to check because you touch the Mail Button and I can read the e-mails; so I check them a lot of times every day. I check once a week, the Hotmail account.

When you have easy access, it is quite simple to get in touch with those accounts. That is handy to have a way to get a hold of your e-mails easily. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I check five email addresses every day. I have to manage my emails through taking surveys, applying for magazine sweepstakes, games, and job searching. I also delete emails or empty spams that do not make sense.

at least 1-2 times per day...so naturally if i wait some important informations or other i know i will arrive on my inbox is possible i will check it frequently but in other cases normally 1-2 times per day s enough for me.

I check my emails several times a day. I'm not sure why I check them so often as most of the time there is nothing important there anyways. I have one email that I use only for survey sites that I work on and for paypal. I then use an email just for mylot, that email address I don't check every day as I am not always able to find the time to work here, and I have a personal email account.
I definitly check my personal email account several times a day incase one of my family members have sent me an email. I live far away from all of my family, except my adult daughter...we live together, so we email each other a lot. I look forward to talking to my sisters online by email.
I do check my email account for surveys every day but usually only a couple times a day as most surveys are sent during business hours. I like to do my surveys as soon as I get them..or as quickly as possible, because the sooner you do them after they are mailed to you, the chance of qualifying is much greater. So I usually check in the morning before I get ready for work, I'm up for a couple hours before I need to get up, and if I have any to do I will do them. Then I definitly check in the evening after dinner and if I have any I do them then.
Cheers my friend and happy mylotting,
Chris

Having different e-mail accounts for different purposes is a necessity these days for many it seems. That way it is going to be much easier to keep track of everything and anything. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I check both of my main emails daily. I try to do this because if I don't, after a day or two... my email account will be flooded!!

Yeah, slacking a day or two, it is going to get flooded rather quickly. That is something that tends to bound to happen. Sometimes a lot quicker. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated. It contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I check my email most of the time like every 4 hours. But I do that when I'm at work. You'll never know when an important email will pass by Inbox. For personal emails, I just do it like you, once in the morning and once in the evening.

I check it frequently, everytime I'm using my computer. Some time ago, I set up the Outlook on automatic to watch over my GMail account, so simply forget about it. I start Outlook when I login on Windows, then a popup appears if I have a new mail. And that's all, an automatic check every minute by doing nothing.
On the old times, when I don't had this, I usually checked once or twice a day only, and rarely got any mail (like now).
