<p>I check my email regularly. During the school year my teachers send out information about classes, extracurriculars, etc. The ridiculous amount of college emails flowing in also means I have to check regularly or else my inbox will be filled with hundreds, even in the summer, as most of you also experience…</p>
<p>I check my email alot. I have it synched to my iPod Touch.</p>
<p>well i use gmail, so i leave it open as a tab. Its useful for both emails and IMs!</p>
<p>I still use email a lot for work. Facebook may be the preferred form of social networking, but I doubt people are going to start planning interviews over Facebook in the near future!</p>
<p>I check my email on my Ipod constantly because it is so convenient… well it hasn’t been working lately though.</p>
<p>2 times a day</p>
<p>High school student here. I check my email several times throughout the day because I have a quick access icon on my phone that makes it convenient. I check for college information, notifications from various forums and websites that I’ve subscribed to, updates, messages, and etc.</p>
<p>Email is very important to me. Because of my job, my email account is always open. People and the University communicate around the clock. Most dealings with me are very formal and no one would ever use a social media site to contact me, nor would I use such a site to contact anyone on University business, although I do have Facebook and Classmates accounts for friends. We use Outlook 2003 in the office, and whenever I receive an email, the header and title flash in the right hand corner of my screen allowing me to decide whether I want to open it. At home in the evening and on the weekends I primarily use the iPhone although I have the web based version of Outlook on our home machine and I do look that several times over the weekend especially when I need to make a lengthy reply.</p>
<p>In addition I have gmail and hotmail accounts for personal communications I do not want to be put on the University’s servers.</p>
<p>I’m 18, and I rarely check my email anymore (Except for conformation emails and stuff like that).</p>
<p>I have Google Mail App for Chrome, so I never check my email; however, I know instantly when I get one.</p>
<p>EMAIL!!! The world needs it</p>
<p>I use my email every single day. I used to use it a lot for work and now I use it a lot for school. Also since I have gotten a smart phone (Android) with my email hooked up, it is at my fingertips almost always.</p>
<p>all day. i have a really bad obsession with checking my emails. i don’t save passwords either so i waste entirely too much time performing the same tasks. gmail (account 1, 2, 3,) then student email. haha.</p>
<p>Somehow I actually ended up with six e-mail accounts:
- one personal and which collects spam
- one professional and for school/college
- one from my school
- one old
- one for storage and privacy
- one for work/volunteerism</p>
<p>I check the personal and the professional at least once a day. I have the school set up to automatically forward to the professional. I never check the old or the storage, and I check the work one once a week.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t if my homepage weren’t the site of my E-mail, although i go on to facebook right after.</p>
<p>Social media isn’t the platform for formal communication, that’s what e-mail is for (in my opinion). E-mail is becoming old-fashion, in terms of the internet, but it’s never going to be obsolete. Corporations communicate largely via e-mail, not because it’s convenient (it’s not) but for legal reasons. Regardless, whenever I need to send a file of any type, I’m not going to send it over AIM or Facebook, I’ll send it to them via email. Maybe it’s just me, but I still think it’s invaluable and is not going to grow obsolete for some time. In fact, I believe that the younger generation will eventually grow out of solely IMing and Facebooking and attempt to communicate more via e-mail as they age.</p>
<p>That being said, I check my e-mail a number of times throughout the day. I would use Thunderbird if it weren’t for the fact that I foolishly signed up for a Yahoo! Mail account and can’t use e-mail clients with it.</p>
<p>I think it’s almost crazy how much I check my email. It may even be considered unhealthy but a lot of my communication with the professional world i.e college, work, etc. Is through email.</p>
<p>High school student. I check mine everyday because it is my home page when I open the Internet. Its important to me to check it because of my internships, colleges, school, and messages from family that I don’t see very often.</p>
<p>I still use my email a lot, but primarily for contact with teachers and organizations I’m involved in through school.</p>
<p>I only use my email when I need it. Mainly for when I forget a password or if I KNOW someone is planning to email me something important at that time. It gets so built up with spam, even within 1 hour, that I find it a waste of peoples time, and mine, to give someone my email and say “email me,” when I know I most likely will end up deleting it by accident.</p>
