Shorty and I tend to use email as our primary communication channel when either of us are offline, ever since we figured out just how expensive it would be to text that much. Other than that and for work purposes I use email almost exclusively one-way, ie. receiving updates and newsletters and whatnot.
I have a couple of emails now. My personal email I really only use to communicate with family and certain offline friends, and for professional purposes. I then have a work email, and an old email I set up for online purposes and now use as the email for my website that I never check anymore.
I check email frequently, but I don't write emails very often outside of work stuff. PMs/VMs/Facebook/texting is the way I keep in touch with EoFFers.
I've always tried to have email conversations with friends, but they inevitably reply once or twice and then never check their email again. Those same people never answer their phones either and will only respond to Facebook comments. It is sad. I even have a friend who always talks about emailing people, but when she says that she means sending Facebook messages.
I miss getting emails from friends. I want all the emails.
Oh god, emails. No. I send and receive enough already D:
I deal with a ton of emails for work and this is how I feel when I open up my inbox:

I used to use email to communicate with friends and all, but they stopped replying and that died. Sad stuff. I find PMs to be more effective ways of communication for any site I visit regularly. I had about a half a dozen personal email accounts, cut off most of them, and still have a bunch. All I get nowadays are spam, deals and facebook notifications. I have been thinking about killing my facebook but I don't know how, it's just been in active forever now; if you guys know how to, let me know.
I telegraphed a rep to Denmark. I hope that's okay.
So... I have four email addresses that I actually check. And bunches more that are from days long gone by that I don't check.
• I have my standard one based on my username where ALL standard mailings go - reward programs, most receipts, newsletters, etc.
• I have a professional one with my name for all of my work colleagues and family and very little else.
• I have a other-work one on thefinalfantasy for contact purposes - it's also how I get my Mognet notifications from here!
• I have yet another with a friend's website as part of the original founding team of twelve. Yes, we're the Knights of the Round.
The top one in the list uses one notification tone on my phone, and the other three use a different one (though the same for all three). This way, I know which ones need to be checked immediately, and which ones can wait until I've run out of things to do on a lazy day off at home.

I use email almost exclusively for work and to keep in touch with long distance friends. Sometimes I use it for nearby friends when I don' t feel like texting.
I have three main e-mail accounts:
Hotmail for websites such as forums and random notifications from Facebook
Gmail for more important stuff (bills, ordering stuff, etc...)
My university account (yay for alumnus status!) that seems more professional and I use it to that effect.
I occasionally email friends but mostly I just get emails about stuff. Very rare I send one unless it is to contact profs or admins about studies.
Well, I never was a big time blogger but I can relate to the mail clogging and the good feels. :)Quote:
