    You can get p0rn on eBay? (Smacks head!) That's what I've been doing wrong! :)

      Unless I'm in a meeting, or really heads down, I normally respond to all email instantly. I feel more productive that way than slogging through heaps of mail at the start or end of the day. That's time for CP!

      I am just the opposite. I despise the interruption when I am trying to get work done. So, I only read my email twice a day. Usually at 11:00 and then at ~1.5 hours before I call it a day.

        only works for AOheLl users. He might grumble and growl and walk to the office postal-stop and check his box. :doh:

          I am guilty of that. The problem for me is the company email throws away most attachments (among a long list of other unacceptable practices) so I do not use it often and I opt to use and check my gmail account instead.

          that sucks, the only thing I've had to work around is that it strips unzipped executables. Putting one in an unpassworded archive is completely ok however. :rolleyes:

                  At the rate things are going, it may have been faster :) The problem is that I'm working from home. I could call, and I suppose I will in a bit if I don't hear back, but still, it's annoying.

                          Do you have an IM client on your PC? Does the co-worker? I will IM people to tell them to read an important/time sensitive e-mail. Or, if you're on VPN, use 'NET SEND' to send a mesasge to their PC. Hope that helps... Tim
