Poll: How quickly do you answer your e-mails?
I've noticed my phone calls are returned quickly, but my e-mails may not get a response for days. Is it the same for you, or are my friends just not on-line savvy?

it takes me like two days to answer mine. (i just think about what i'm going to say, but most of the time i forget to check it.) :-)

LOL... I'm just the opposite, I always forget to return phone calls, but the moment after I've read a email I'm replying to it. I read my email everyday, and because i tend to ignore the ringtones from my phone, must people now it's better to contact me by email. I guess because I don't have to say much in a email. and I guess some people would rather have long conversations with you on the phone

I reply as soon as I get them. However, I do tend to check my email every two-three hours (if I'm on the computer, that is). Some people just probably don't check their email as much, or don't go on the computer all that much, either. As far as my experiences go, it really just depends on the person. Some people will reply within hours, while other's it takes days...even weeks. I guess it just depends.

I check my email almost every couple of hours. I am surprised at how many people don't check their email. I am a student and when I have questions that need answering I am pretty upset when people don't contact me back that day. I really think people should access their email NO less than once a day.

It's usually within hours, if not minutes, giving respect to the fact that most everyone I email lives in different time zones.
I keep my gmail tab open, and there's 595 things in my inbox. As soon as it says (596) I usually go and check it.

depends on who youre emailing...
business people and teachers usually reply right away.
kids dont check email as much as things like facebook though, so a couple of days usually.

I emailed a guy about three weeks ago....a friend and he has yet to respond so...I guess he is busy.
