frannyo 2 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 How often do you check your mails? When I'm online I have it set to 30 minutes. My brother told me last night he only checks his mails once a week! He doesn't get many so I suppose there is no need but that sounds bonkers to me. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 the alerts pop up. Sometimes very annoyingly. If internet mail, I use eprompter and that pops into the internet accounts every 10 mins or so. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 At work, I have outlook set to alert me whenever a new message arrives, because they are pertinent to the work I am doing, and I need to know whenever a response arrives. At home, I have mailwasher check every 10 minutes when I'm online. I can then check and dispense with any crap emails at my leisure. I would sometimes check a couple of times a day (but that is only while I am at home. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted June 26, 2009 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted June 26, 2009 We have mailwasher checking every few minutes - get rid of all the rubbish and download when there's anything real there. I do the same at home, though it's set to 10 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites

IIIII 2 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I recently changed mine because it was just getting silly the amount of junk coming in. Now some days I go without any and that is good with me. Link to post Share on other sites
ssar 0 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 At work our mS WinXP/Outlook systems are set to check every minute I think, and a popup message appears. At home when I have outlook running it is set for every 15 mins. I check my web-based emails (Yahoo, Hotmail) roughly once every 2-3 days. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Mailwasher has just had a pretty big update. Costs $10, but worth it. I am really liking the new version, if not for the updated interface. Link to post Share on other sites
Ctrl-Z 0 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Funny you should say that, I have been playing around with that this last weekend too. Seems good but I always use this before going to outlook to download mail. Link to post Share on other sites
Schneebored 0 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Too often (outlook prompts me)...But I don't like the reliance on email, I prefer to pick up the phone. Although there is the obvious benefit in getting things in writing. Link to post Share on other sites
mitchpee 10 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 As I have two main emails (one for pleasure/university criteria) and one for a completely online based business that encircles the idea of email...pretty regularly I would say maybe every 2 hours or so? However sometimes I leave for days or a week without checking. Link to post Share on other sites
