Honestly,i see not every people check their emails every single day.So i just wonder how often do you do this and do you receive many junk emails often? I suppose this is important in my life,but we also use the most efficient software to chat online in our country.

I usually check my e-mail several times a day if I'm online for long periods of time. If I'm not online at all during the day (which sometimes does happen, even in this internet-centric world, I do take time off from the web and ignore the internet for 24 hour periods! It's great, you should try it! lol) then obviously I won't check my e-mail at all. Usually I do get lots of junk mail, but I've got an account that I use mainly to give to websites so if I get spamish mail it ends up in that account instead of the one I use for family, friends, and work. So there's less junk to sort through in my main e-mail, and the mail that I get all my mylot notifications and facebook messages and whatnot gets all the junk, and it's easier to sort through that way.

Having an iPhone would probably encourage me to check my e-mail and the internet more. Probably one of the reasons I don't have one. If I'm not internet-fasting and I can't get on mylot (like for that day when it was down last week) I sort of feel a bit of a phantom limb pain. I think I am a bit addicted to mylot.

I check my emails every single day too- to see mylot notifications or facebook. Since there are new emails everyday, we need to check them.. Most of my emails are from mylot, i get junk email rarely.

To be honest,i feel so sad that we could not using facebook in my country,but anyway,we still have many other good sites to make me happy and enrich my day.There is such a popular softwear famous and indeed many foreign celebrites using it in my country.It's called"microblog",i think it's also interesting.

I check my email quite often. Sometimes I check email everyday or every other day. I get a lot of spam; and I have a spam mail dumper. I check the spam mail to make sure it does not have important mail mixed in. I do not chat very much online; and email is used for my customer service needs and another option for communication. I would rather talk on the phone to friends and save email for business. I almost never chat online. If I can chat with someone online, I feel they should be able to pick up the phone.

I check my mails every day. At least the mail box which is made for the more important and personal mails. I have a mailbox that I made for less important things like signing up to websites, and I expect a lot of junk to arrive there, I check that one less often.
@jricky1 (6797)

That means that mailbox means less important than you.lol,just like my other new work mailbox.I think it is different to think.Anyway,it is a good habit to do everyday.lol,it has become a part of everyday life.

I check my emails several times a day. I have my personal email account, my business account and my fire department's email account. I normally check my business email about 2 - 3 times a day, the fire department email once or twice a day, depending on what is going on, such as scheduling members for academies and such, then I'm checking it more often. I check my personal account about 5 -6 times a day. I don't get much junk emails, since I usually take the time to open and unsubscribe from them.

lol,i'm so lazy that i do check my business email everyday,but there is one thing that i do not keep checking if i'm not working in this job and i almost forget everything related to it.Life after work is such wonderful to me and using internet really makes me feel connected to the world.

I don't really have to check my emails on purpose. Since my MSN is online when my computer is on. Besides, my tablet will have a sound when there is a new email. Namely I can know when I will get an email. So it is very convenient for me. I love China

I think it is good to make a warning each time receiving an email.So that you do not need to check on purpose.To some extent,emails are not that convenient as software like MSN.lol

I check it everyday.I never missed a day without checking it because everyday I have to deal with clients and we communicate by means of emails. A spam guard has been installed to my emails and company server.So it wont affect any of those emails we have. Happy myLotting!

Have you tried Gmail,i think i received junk mails not very often.And that's automatically classified people you often contact with.I think it's pretty much convenient to use that.Have a nice day,cloud31.

I check my e-mails every day :) I also have them on my phone so when a new email comes I get a message and I can check it instantly. It is not super important to check them daily, but if I don't, I get many notifications and then I am bored to go through all of them the next day!

Dear I check my emails 2-3 times daily and more on weekends.My friends and I like to keep in touch with email and so does my family worldwide you can't text so email is the fastest way to keep in touch.Email was a gift in our family because it would take some time for letters to get though.as for junk mail I keep a seperate email for junk so I don't have to sort though it often.

I receive a lot of junk mail, but also mail I have to read. I receive about 90 or 100 emails a day so I have to check. Just because I'm a stay at home single does not mean I don't have bills. And then there are the Facebook and other fans who follow my posts. So I do a lot of reading of mail. I answer them right away so I do not have anything pending. I check my mail about four times a day and always there are 20 or so letters waiting. Between emails and writing articles and answering comments I am busy non stop for eight or ten hours - and then there is also my book waiting.

You are so busying doing this and maybe it is a leisure to find new things or letter coming in that related to you.It is not bad that someone following you and hope you still have time mylotting.lol

I would estimate around once every two to three days. But if I'm expecting a very important e-mail, then it changes to once a day or once in the morning and in the evening before I go to sleep.

If I'm on vacation from college or any other daily chores, I will check my email every two days. Mostly in the mornings because I'm checking the news at the same time from yahoo, CNN, and the local webpages. No need to bother with anything but important emails anyway. Now if I have a class or go outside the house for awhile, I will check the email and news everyday in the morning, sometimes twice in the afternoon. I get a lot of junk/spam email anymore, probably from joining websites like myLot to be honest, so I clean them out of the inbox then proceed to remove what is in the spam folder itself and my trash.

I used to be like you one upon a time but of late I have not been checking my mail daily mainly because i really don't get any seriously important mail these days and also because i really don't get time to do it . Even I miss seeing my mails daily but now that I have got used to living without mails , I feel boring to see mails daily .

Maybe mails are different from those chat softwares.And the mail is use is Gmail.I think it could satify my needs and also could use cam to see and chat with my friends.Basially is cool.

I still check my email every day even though I may not expect anything important daily. If anything, I like to clear my junk emails daily. Email is still an essential mean of communication for me.

Couldn't agree more and i hate those junk emails and classify others.In my country,people use MSN,QQ skype and also email.I think they all good ways to help us connecting with our friends and the world.Thanks for share.
