I check my email atleast 4-5 times in a day. I have about 5 yahoo email accounts which I have assigned for different purposes. I check each of them around 4-5 times a day whether I am in office or at home. How often do you check it?

I check mine about 4 or 5 times a day unless I am sick or out of town for the day. Most of the time its spam anyway.

I get most in my Bulk folder but still get a lot in my regular folder. Not just spam but also scam email, like the Nigerian scam stuff that a lot of people get. I will check the filter. Thanks!

I use Outlook with a 5-minute refresh. That seems to be fast enough for most people.

It is not healthy to check your e-mail many times in a day. Doing so would kill your productivity. Adding up all the minutes and seconds you spent to check email in a single day can go up to half an hour or even an hour. That time could have been used in many other important tasks. Well, many have become email addicts: these people (perhaps like you and me) feel restless if they couldn't check their emails every now and then. To cure the addiction, one advice I get from a website says that one has to set a specific time in a day when to check emails. There also must be a specific schedule when to reply emails. Remember that in a given day you would face with a load of tasks other than replying emails.

Hi findcutegj! I check mine in the morning and in the evening - though at the moment it's VERY early in the morning! But having done that by the time I respond to everything it seems a couple of hours just flies by! Seem to spend a lot of time at the computer as a consequence. Sometimes I just think I should start writing letters - but then I wouldn't be able to do the searches I always seem to be doing!

if i'm home i check my email about every 30 minutes, yes like expecting something new and exciting will suddenly pop up in my email, i guess it becomes a habit, plus my friends always send me messages that really catch my eye and since i'm away from all of them in a way it reminds you of them
