I’m just wondering whether I am a bit obsessive, or just bored, checking mine every fifteen minutes!

A few times a dayI check mine first thing in the morning, and then again at lunch time... I don't check for the rest of the day as it's like Schrodinger's inbox, nothing bad can happen until I open it again! Specifically have email notifications switched off on my phone lol.
I hate checking emails, always get anxious before doing it (I guess you could say, overly anxious... ) and it's even worse if I've emailed someone as I'm then terrified about their reply! -
Yes I am guilty of checking emails through the day and must make an effort not to do this, reading the results. I can't help checking just in case someone is offering a fantastic job, or something good.

A few times a dayI check mine a few times a day, as I've persuaded my daughter to do this, rather than text, as I find it easier replying by email than using texts. Tho she often texts me to say she's sent an email! I dislike texting as I'm forever hitting the wrong letter, & don't have nearly as bad a problem using a keyboard.

More than once an hour@OverlyAnxious what is it you get nervous about? Not asking because I find it odd but because I am possibly similar - I often send an email then worry about what the person will say in response to it!

More than once an hour@Butler356 yes I understand you, I am anticipating a couple of “good” emails and get excited when I see I have a new message then see it’s just some marketing or something haha.

More than once an hour@chiarieds depending on what devices you are running, you may be able to pair your phone with your computer/tablet, and then be able to send and receive text messages from the larger device. They will still go through the phone using your number, just the larger device acts as a kind of display.

A few times a dayHi @66Mustang - Thank you, I didn't know that so will have a look into it.

A few times a dayA few times a day for me. I have five email addresses, so it's important I have the right notification set up and routine to keep on top of it allOnline Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.

More than once an hour@Ross_Scope wow that’s a lot of email addresses
-
More than once an hour90% of my emails are notifications from the community, I find it easier accessing the threads by email notifications so I can keep track... especially with how many boxes I ticked in the notification settings ?
I check several times an hour, keeps me occupiedDisability Gamechanger - 2019 -

It doesn’t happen on this forum as no one really gets confrontational on here, but sometimes on other forums I will post something and not want to go back to that thread to read the replies in case they are negative haha! -

I try not to make any controversial posts but sometimes things get taken the wrong way. I have been known to leave forums for weeks or months after accidentally upsetting someone! I don't post anything at all on social media either. Tbh I don't really even check Facebook any more as even reading other peoples confrontations trigger me!

In real life I am known as the neutral person and family members always come to me to “moderate” their arguments as they know I never take sides haha. -
A few times a dayYeah it is quite a few email addresses @66Mustang
One day a long time ago I decided to create multiple so I could divide my interests between each email address, as a way of filtering my messages. Works pretty well.Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.

More than once an hourThat’s actually a really good idea. I have heard of people having an email address that they give to businesses to keep marketing off their main address but never thought of splitting your interests between addresses.

A few times a dayYeah, it really helps me keep track of everything @66Mustang, I would definitely recommend it. Only downside is remembering all the passwords

A few times a dayI 100% recommend having a 'spam' email address @66Mustang @Ross_Scope! It was a life-changer when I made mine. I have 3 personal emails that I actually use.
-
A few times a dayI don't tend to get much spam @Tori_Scope, any website that normally sends spam I sign up to with my Gmail account, which then normally sticks everything in the promotions category, which I never check.
With anything else, I periodically go through my emails and hit the unsubscribe button at the bottom of anything I don't like receiving.Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.
