a recent study shows that some workers check their mail at work as often 40 times in an hour! isnt that a bit excessive? i check my email (ie sending/receiving) about 4 times when i am at work - thats 4 hours! how about you?

i check my e-mails whenever i get online.and most of the time when i am in my workplace i have to use internet and at that time i keep my mailbox open. even when i am at home and using internet i check my mails.so it would be around 4-5 times daily that i open my mail box.besides i have got 6 accounts and that takes too much of my time.

I usually check my emails twice a day - usually as soon as I wake up and then before I sleep. But then, if there are times that I am waiting for a very important email, I try to check it several times a day. Anyway, about that recent study, I think that 40 times an hour is a bit too much. What's that, checking their email every 1 1/2 minutes? I think those workers are obsessive unless those emails are work-related. Well, maybe they work as customer representatives for some companies...

At work I usually checked my emails three times a day: in the morning right after I got there while having my coffee, after lunch, and then right before I would go home. At home I always have my computer on, and I always have my email page open - I usually see new mails right away because I have a beep tell me when they arrive

Hi,cher913! I check my email two times a day.The first time is always in the morning,after I get up,and the next time is in the evening.I'm a student so I don't need to deal with so many emails.

When Im at work I check my emails all the time whenever I am in my desk in front of the computer even when Im doing other stuff on the computer. More than half of the time at work is spend reading and replying to emails.

i check my email rarely, because i don't receive so much mail...but however, if i'm waiting for an important message, i often check it ... great discussion!
