In this world of electronics and globalization, many people are into surfing the net to connect all over the world. It is very important for them to contact their friends, business or loved ones. As for me, I check my facebook more than I check my e-mail. I just check my e-mail maybe once every other day or once every two days. How about you?

Hello, Well, if only important information was to be considered I would have checked my email once a day. That I used to do before I joined myLot. Now, myLot notifies me about every activity of my friends, especially when they start a new discussion. Notifications are also sent when there is a new response to the discussions I have started. So whenever I get online or try to write something in myLot, I first check my inbox. I check it minimum 10 times a day. God bless you

Wow that was so frequent then. I don't usually do that but of course if you really need to check your mail and it is very important then I don't have any question with that. I just admire people who are very patient checking everything esepcially in their e-mails.

Hmm, I have also registered in some sites that provide online tutorials. But, most I have tagged most of them as spam. Let them rest there at peace. Amen.

That must be crazy. It's like your computer is you life already. Well, there are a lot of people that are like that and another thing is because you are working on a desk all the time. I mean that's the very nature of your job so maybe you always check your mail and everything.

I work online and need to keep in contact with several people, so I have an email program running all the time I'm working. It checks email every 10 minutes. I know people who very seldom check theirs, even when I tell them I've sent them something. :)

I usually wake up and check my e-mail and I check my mail once again before I sleep. Any time between the day is really just based on if I think about it or not.

As far as I am concerned, I usually check my mail everyday. The fisr time that I turn on my computer, I will log in my e-mail adress to see how many mails I have recieved, and to see who has sent me the mail,which can help me to make sure I can catch the important mails.

It varies from day to day. There are times where I have gone a couple of days without checking it as of late. Something that I regret afterward, but you know, I get caught up in things. So the email has to be pushed to the back burner for now. Just hoping that I do not get anything rather important and can work pretty handily through the backlog later in the day. On most days when I do check it, I would have say about twice. Once in the morning and once in the late afternoon/evening. Any more can be just a bit excessive to me. Granted, there are times where I might pop in about as twice as much. Only when I am expecting a critical email. Other than that, about two times on an average a day, perhaps three sometimes, perhaps one, perhaps none. As I said, it is all over the board.

Everytime I open the net, the first thing I do is check my mail. I do it regularly, everyday.

once a day should be enough.

i usually check my mail every other day. same as you, i do check my facebook more than my email because most of my friends have facebook and they usually communicate with me through it. lesser people are now using their emails as a means to communicate with their friends and love ones. Emails are more used in business it think.

Me in my case I check my mail atleast 3 times a day. That is to check and rechecking of any new emails.

I'm always online so I check my e-mail and my facebook many many times a day. I'm always checking if an online seller has responded to my inquiries. I'm also starting a small business and I look for suppliers online. I'm a very impatient person so it's hard for me to just still and not check my mailbox.

Well, I'm using Gtalk, which notifies me once I get a new mail. And I spent 4 hours a day online with my Gtalk on. So, I don't actually "check" my mail. In fact, I do check my facebook a lot. I think I'm becoming facebook nuts.(I don't know whether I express the right way.)
