I have 4 accounts, a .Mac one for my Mac which is my primary one, a Yahoo! Mail account that I use for registering gadgets, an Gmail account for the storage (.Mac isnt big enough Steve!) and a Hotmail one for MSN and Myspace junk!

All are checked on my MacBook Pro, and when I am mobile, my Blackberry.

Addicted, ya I guess so…

I have 15 email accounts. All for different purposes. Check about every 15 minutes or so while working, but otherwise, I dont check it when im mobile.

Addicted? Seems so harsh a term for a simple practice…

But yes, I suppose I am. Unlike the Social Networking friends of mine (who skip the whole e-mail idea and use Facebook instead), I use e-mail constantly, check it constantly (every 10 or so minutes, sometimes more) whether I’m at home or on the go. It’s sad, but so much happens through e-mail, and it is almost necessary these days to do so (especially when you are into technology related fields). Oh well, at least I’m always on top of things :)

I’d probably be a total email addict if I had a Blackberry or some other device like that, but I find that checking email once or twice in the evening is plenty. Unless I’m expecting something, then I’m all over it from the time I’m home until the time I go to sleep. I have about 5 email accounts, but all for different things. I’m thinking that people, at least younger people, are probably more addicted to texting than anything else.
