    five times or so a day.

    which is over the threshold of addiction according to a study back in 1997, but that was before email was widespread.

    Twice a day. I do all sorts of shady deals on the net, selling, buying etc. so its important that I know when my items are being dispatched or when somebody pays me. I also get nice emails, or facebook messages occasionally that lift my spirits.

    Honestly... it is my homepage so anytime I open my browser I check it.

    It is very unhealthy how many times I check my email and facebook.

    I did a lot before e-mail, but no, I did not write too many letters.....at all. Occasionally to my grandparents because it made them so happy.

    I guess I was 27 when I got e-mail, I mean, they gave me an address in college but i was like "what is this? how do I access this? who would be able to write me a message on this?" and it was never used because it was probably 1993

    I go through phases, i got really into writing letters for awhile and i sent a bunch of people letters, but i forgot that everyone else wasnt super into it. then i got into a phase of checking my e-mail about 3 times a day. now i check it once or twice a week.

    If I could only check my email twice a week, I'd be breaking into neighbors houses in the middle of the night to use their internet.

    Not that my friends, is a problem.

    usually like once a week. I don't get anything good - just borders rewards emails and 'youve won a laptop' bullshit and whatnot. I don't have a myspace or facebook to check. and I go on AIM like atleast once a day. usually at night when I'm bored

    I check my school e-mail once a day because there might be an important announcement.

    Once a week, sometimes twice if someone calls me to bitch that I haven't e-mailed them back.

    2 or 3 times a day. Most I delete without even reading.

    I haven't checked any e-mail for over a month now. And I'll bet there is shit in there from 2001.

    Maybe once or twice every second or third day. Everyday, if I am expecting something important.
