    And when you run out, get a friend to fax you some more.

    Reminds me of that waxy, hard loo paper that scratched our poor primary school bums into raw red.

    Still, answering the OP's poll, I look at mine once per day. Emails, that is.

    wow, that’s an unwelcome blast from the past. We used to use it as tracing paper. I remember having blow my nose using that loo roll, so horrible especially with a cold

    @Eastcoast how about answering your own bloody question for once from the get go?
    Taken the APP off my phone and look at emails once per day on a laptop.

    I am seriously not having a go and often the questions start an interesting discussion so I really don't want you to stop, but why?

    What was the thought process that led to "I think I'll ask a question on how often people look at their personal email?"

    I do not take offence.

    To see if the 'expat' behaves in a certain way. For this one I read an article in the HBR a few months ago so I thought I would ask to see if their findings match a stodgy expat crowd.

    Personal email - less and less. I do get bank and other messages sent to my email. Occasionally friends or relatives send an email especially if it is a longer message, but increasingly they use WhatsApp.

    Work email - despite attempts over the years, its use has not changed. Actually, alternatives lead to more time taken as we need to go to another system to find that information, rather than just searching our email inbox.
