Do you have the habit of reading emails in order? How many emails you have? How many times you check each email in a day? Do you make it as a order for checking emails? I have 5 e-mails, and I do check all of them everyday, day and night.. without checking the e-mails, I will not start my work and while ending, I make it a point to check my e-mail and then finish my work.. What about you guyz??

I have several email accounts and I check them several times a day, as I normally get a couple of hundred emails every day. I don't look at them in order though, I often sift through to see if there is an email from my kids first then I can get to the rest

Couple of 100 email means, you get 200 e-mails per day??

I check my email everyday, once the early morning and kkeep checking within the whole day. I just open it and check it, don't check it in order. Becaus eI receive notification from mylot and I talk to my husband on emaile veryday so I need to check it frequently during the day.

When I go to my inbox I first look to see emails from my family. I read those and reply wherever necessary and only then check the rest of the emails in order. Iam online continuously for more than eight hours everyday and keep checking my emails every hour or so. In between also keep mylotting.

Did you mean the number of email accounts that we have? If that's the case I only check my primary email everyday, or every hour if permitted. The other accounts are just there for backup and for less important functions. If you were asking about the emails that we get in our accounts, I dont read them in the order that they came in the mail. I read those that I already know what to do with and I think are easy so that I can delete them altogether. Then I go for those emails that needs more time to respond to, like the myLot discussion notifications. I read them first, then read the other ones before I actually follow the link to respond.

I dont mean literally every 24 hours of the day. Its just that Im online for at least 2 hours a day and when Im online, I always have a tab on my email account so I know the second that an email comes through.^_^

Actually I read my email once in every day. So, there cannot be deposited too many mails. As soon I see mails, I read if the sender is know to me or delete if the sender seems suspicious because of virus fear. I do not read them in order. Just pick the familiar ones and read them.

I have a really bad habit in not checking my emails at a regular bases. That is because of all the spam. Including with the spam I get about 150+ emails a day and about a quarter of it are junk mail. It is just overwhelming to get so much emails and having to read them all. I takes all day sometimes to get back on most of the inquires I receive. I do try my best to make it a better habit in check my email.

the first thing i open my computer is to read emails. usually i first delete the sacms. i can know what are such kind ones by the topics. then read from the most important one, until i finish all the unread mails, and then if no more things urgent to do, i'll open mylot to have a look or respond.

Not always. Depends on what I'm looking for because sometimes I get spam and I wouldn't want to read it first or at all.

I actually maintain 3 emails, 1 yahoo which i also use with the messenger and 2 gmail addresses. I check them all but not particularly in order just whatever strikes my fancy, usually I check the yahoo first though, since when I log-on to my messenger the new mail pops out so I check it, since this is also generally the email used to exchange emails with my immediate family. then the 2 gmail accounts I generally use for my internet activities

I have 4 emails I actively monitor each day and then I have several others I check into about once a week. I first go thru each one and read any corespondance from people I have a realtionship with whether it is personal or business. Then from there I read the headers and if the email looks like something I need to get into I will open it and read it. I get a couple hundred emails for each account everyday, so I just don't have enough hours in my day to read them all so I weed thru and read the ones that have a title that really reaches out and grabs me
