My email / ticket clients are open 24/7 and check for new emails / tickets every minute. I probably get a few hundred emails a day, a few tickets and a few thousand spam emails asking me to buy little blue pills
Checking them 5-8 times a day. I forward all the 'external' accounts to my hosting account so I have everything organized in one spot.
there's no time my outlook is always on and grabbing all mails from my sites or emails and I check alot
It depends really. If I sign up for a couple websites I'll visit my email to activate the registration (and check my inbox too). On an average day, I'll probably check it five times, but there are definitely different factors too.
I have gmail manager on my firefox, configured to check the email every 2 minutes... 360 times for 12 hours
I use windows live mail so have all 4 accounts open at once. They update automatically when I get emails.
Mine is on and checking constantly between 9-5, after that I check when I feel like it or if I happen to be on the computer doing something at home.
Doing business with people who demand instant replies GMail notifier does a great job. I find it important to be notified once someone needs attenion I check my private account only twice a day tho.
I always have my Gmail up and I check it when I get a new email. So anywhere between 20 and 50 times a day. All but a few are just MySpace comments and stuff lol.
