The frequency of useful emails

Hangout GupShup Cafe
1

I believe it was on Gupshup that someone mentioned how email is slowly becoming snail mail and IM is all the rave these days.

That got me wondering how often others receive useful emails (barring the spam and forwards) on a weekly basis.

Personally I hardly receive any useful emails. I’d say I perhaps receive 5-10 useful emails per month. The remainder is either spam or forwards.

I mainly keep in touch with others via IM or SMS.

Assalam O Aalaikom sister,

How are you? In my opinion, gmail.com is the best email ever which can be also runned on to msn messenger with 2.5 GB of space and no spaming. We get only useful emails. In case, if we get any useless emails, we are welcome to block their addresses in order to not receiving those emails.

Take Care,
Allah Hafiz!

Re: The frequency of useful emails

Hardly ever anymore. Though I do receive periodic (daily/weekly) emails with pricelists,etc which I need for my work.

And I also receive Guppies email with their avatars and other requests :halo:

But you are right, Email as a source for keeping in touch with faraway friends/family is no longer used.

Super Me, walaykum assalam.

I was inquiring about the number of useful emails received on average, and not how to deal with forwards/spam. :)

Gizzy, I agree email isn't quite the means used to keep in touch by many of us. I suppose most of us receive and deal with work-related emails, which often need to be saved for future reference.

With the advent of VOIP, I'm noticing people are calling each other more and text messaging (although this bit isn't tied in with VOIP) than emailing.

once a month minimum its a mail thats worth keeping, forwarding to ALL my mailboxes..

once in two months minimum its a mail, thats forwarded to work's email, to be shown/discussed with colleagues and management (sp?)
