How Often Do You Check Your E-mail?

My e-mail client is usually always open but I prioritise what comes in.

If its communication about a current project/something I'm focused on that will get a quick response than anything else.

Most IM'ers are very busy and more often than not biting off more than they can chew so while I reply to nearly every e-mail within a few days, I don't rush to do it.

I look once every 2-3 hours.
But rarely check my email on weekends.

On weekdays, my email client is always open so I see hem real time.
On weekends, i check every couple of hours.

Every second of the day. I got my emails coming to my cell phone.

Daily. Sometimes I do miss a day or two but it's rare.


And these people work online? I always get a response
in a day or 2 from internet marketers.

I check mine on the go on my smart phone such that whenever I get a new email i receive it on my cell phone when am not on my computer. Overall I check my email several times during the day.
I am an IMer and I have to sift through 50 to 80 emails per day and as such sometimes I may not go through email I personally consider not important to me and as such I might respond to such email 1 or 2 days after it has arrived in my inbox.
From my own point of view, I check email regularly based on how important the email is to me.

Depends on what I have to do.

I check my inbox several times during a day.

When I was working for one of my former employer and sat all day in front of the PC I used the 2 minutes rule, which means I replied within 2 minutes to each email.

My email is on my iphone and I live on there, so about once every 15 minutes!

every couple minutes whenever I am close to a computer or my phone

checking my emails all the time 24/7

main reason i check it 24/7 because its set up on my iphone

All the time. Usually via iPhone, as I have it set to check for new mail every hour.

My email comes to my cell phone. If it's a client I try to answer quickly. My personal email I answer once or twice a day.

I would say once every 2-3 hours...

Ut time to to check it again

And this has ???? to do with making money online?

Or maybe I'm in the wrong forum?

3-4 times minimum a day. There are some days when I open my mail account 10-15 times also. Those days are when some clients wants to interview me or wants to send me a project.

Every day... A couple times, but it doesn't seem to help..

Real time.Always.

More often than I should, that's for sure.

My email checks itself every 10 minutes, and alerts me. When I'm not at the computer my mobile alerts me to priority email.

Whenever I get a notification of a new email.

Only when i need to. but i usually always check it in the morning just to get it out of the way

Several times per day

10am - 3pm - 10pm

Still checking them

They never stop coming, LOL.... I am all flooded with a lot of emails on daily basis.... Yes its true by nighttime, it goes down in number, hehe...

Calling myself addicted to email reading is a good name

I USE GMAIL. and it's always opened in my browser and since i'm 24/7 online then it's open 24/7, i can't miss an email from clients,

I usually check at least twice per day. I check first thing when I wake up to answer the previous day's emails at the least. If I am home throughout the day I will periodically check 2-3 more times and then before I go to bed.

I have a smart phone. I look at the titles a few times a day. I read my emails once a day. I only answer what is important. I ignore everything else.

My outlook is on 24/7 so checking an email is actually all the time...

I check my email every 2-3 hours on weekdays. Weekend it depends on whether I am in holiday or not, if not I will check every 2-3hours too

three or 4 times a day way too much

whenever i remember i check my email. usually at least once a day..

Gosh I check it way too much I think checking email is what most online marketers have trouble with.

2 or 3 times a day. If I check them as soon as they come in, it will sure be a productivity killer.

I checked my e-mail several times per day. But as you mentioned I am also a Internet marketer so that means I probably check my e-mail way more often than most people do. Plus I also check my e-mail to see if I have any orders pending on gig sites that I work on. I would say that if someone is not checking their e-mail and getting back to you then they probably are not a Internet marketer kind of person like we are. Otherwise they would see their e-mails every day for sure unless your e-mails are going to the spam folder.

When I turn on my computer my email is open.
Right before I shut off my computer it's still open, I close it and shutdown.
Some emails I also have bounce over to my cell.

When I go live with my sites the first few days I will let all sales bounce to the phone, after everything goes as planned I will stop the bounce to the phone.

I also make sure all server related emails bounce to my cell.

Sadly, more often than necessary since my emails are forwarded to my phone and tablet. I rarely check my inbox in laptop unless for certain "disposable addresses" that I use.

I do have several email accounts and I check them once a day. Time management wise, this works out the best so I'm not wasting the day constantly checking my email.

Aim to everything done that is most important to your business first.

Then go through your Emails by looking at the most urgent ones first.

This works for me but it can be very tempting to open the ones that may state you've just made a sale etc.

All the best everyone and have a great day!!!

At every new mail in my inbox!

People are not made for multitasking. I used to check my e-mails every 10 minutes!I couldn't get any work done.

Now i check my e-mails every 1 hour. If i find something that will take me out off my work for a while(a funny e-mail perhaps), i put it in a folder named "To Check Later" so it will not distract me from what i am doing at the time

blackberry push notifications and I still check once per hour...

24/7.

I try to check my emails two or three times a day. But it is not frequent enough because I
have 6 email accounts. I have joined several ad sites and have opted-in to be on the lists of many marketers.to get free traffic and also keep myself updated of the latest
developments in the IM world. The downside is I get a lot of promos sent to me.

I know I will not be able to read all my emails especially those in my list mail
addresses but I can live with that because once in a while I have found some
good info or offer - something which I would have missed if I had stopped my
subscriptions.

I will usually arrange for the non-promo mails to be sent to my newer addresses so
that they will not be missed.

I enjoy the best of both worlds since I get free advertising and free traffic and also some
great up to date info and offers without worrying too much about being 'bombarded' by
promo emails.

During working hours I check my email every second...the gmail account is always open because that is part of my job. During not working hours I try to not check my emails because it becomes an nightmare!

Every 5 minutes or so on laptop, and every time one comes in on phone instantly.

Once or twice a day after I complete my to do list.

I check it when I know something important is coming across. Otherwise, I try to avoid it like the plague.

If the people you contact are taking forever to get back to you, then their ethical business practices in regards to PR need much improvement. Anyone who does not contact me within a 48 hr period losses out on their opportunity with me. Plain and simple.

I myself, don't much approve of that feeling like being a "second thought" to people whom I'm trying to do business with (and many times IMer's are unfortunately & unknowingly, guilty of this). If they don't treat me as being important enough for a business relationship, I look at it as being their loss. PR and business relationships are vitally important if you want a successful online business.

If they are so uncaring about getting back to you, then what is THEIR business REALLY like? I'm not intentionally offending anyone here, but in all honesty - there are those types out there in cyberspace. Plus - you have to take a good hard look at your own email, especially the subject lines.

What wording are you using in your subject lines? A lot of times, people who send out an email to someone, have a subject line that may look like it's spam (and I am certainly not implying you do this), which means it won't even get opened and it gets deleted immediately. So the senders "subject line" must be worded properly in order to expect a reply. So it really is a matter of both sides stopping and looking at what everything really reads and implies.

I check my email twice a day, but I always keep my email opened while working in other tabbed windows so if I do get any messages from those who are important - I can then answer them within a few minutes to a couple of hours. It all depends on what I'm in the middle of doing, say for example, creating a video.

But in any case - I always keep my email opened from the time I get up until I go to bed. Sometimes I go off and eat diner and when I'm done, I check my email and answer them accordingly if there are any important ones there.

I have students who are always emailing me asking questions and I found keeping my email accounts opened at all times, helps with them not having that "nightmare" feeling of waiting forever to get a response. They love it because I answer within a reasonable amount of time and I truly believe every IMer or work from home individual should practice this as well. It does wonders for your business ethics.

Every Minute.I do check it.It's always on.

Interesting point raised here though. How about those people who need to check emails for important work?

I guess for some they need to leave the email window open and check immediately when there is a new message. But off work, that's the time you have to avoid it or else you will still be thinking about work.

website emails normally only after sending emails as most are just junk. But my free none site email accounts i check all the time.

I check my email when I have been alerted that a new email has arrived. This can occur in my Chrome browser or on my mobile phone. Whenever an email is received I get a notice. This way I eliminate senselessly checking my email seeing if someone has responded and am only in there when I get a notification that a new email has arrived.

I check my email almost every hour when i'm online. However it isn't frequent enough because I
have got more email accounts with a lots of spam messages.

Email can be a poison for productivity. lol

I try to avoid checking my emails first thing in the morning...

ryan

I have an app that alerts me whenever I get a new email! I normally will check them as they come in.

I check my mails every hour except when I sleep for 6 hours. Thankfully, I have a busy email box!

I check mine often because I get sales like crazy. It's addictive and quite fun to check my email and I got new paypal payments.
