... may have done it before their first cup of coffee/tea/carbonated drink/caffeinated drink.
Like may pointed out, this should have been multiple choice survey. I am sure a lot of people use more than one device/means of getting their email. I do.

"What do you (mostly) use to read email"
I specifically want to know what you use, mostly, to read email. I read email on about a dozen different devices and computers, but I know that I mostly use my iPhone becuase of all the 5 min here, 5 min there email checks I sneak in around other stuff.
It's just a vaguely pointless exercise in making you think about which devices you use, and of them, which does the most.

That might be the case with you and with may others as well. I use Outlook on Windows for work which is open ALL day long. I use Kaiser running WM6.5 for Gmail for my personal emails which is online at all times. I see myself *Mostly* using Both Windows and WM about the same. I know many people who have the same setup.
Of course, if I have a choice, I would connect my WM to Exchange and get my work email there too, but that is not case, thus forcing me to use multiple clients about the same time, not single and *mostly* means of reading my emails, and thus my original post.

You left out one:
I lovingly print out each and every one using my Linux box (running an Apple IIC emulator I once wrote in Prolog) and an Epson RX-80 dot matrix printer, carefully file them all in a cabinet, and peruse a selection of them when I use the men's room. You never know when someone has forgotten to refill the paper roll. And by the way, the recycled paper is much softer than the new, if you don't mind an occasional splinter.

All I use is a windows based email client. Multiple choices would have done made no difference at all in my response.

As for me, Windows for work and WM for personal, about the same ratio. I don't see using one more than the other, thus I feel I use multiple clients. I know a number of people in similar situation.

|
Perhaps, instead of the "multiple choices" option, switching it to work vs personal email viewing?
|
|
|
|
|
How many do you use the more than all others?
|
|
|
|
|
I only use one more than all the others. How about you?

I use Outlook on Windows and WM6.5 about the same. The first on for work and the later for personal use. If I have the choice, I would connect my WM to exchange and get my work email on my WM6.5. S0, I use 2 devices about the same time.

I use hotmail in the browser at home, while I use Outlook at work, and WP7 for both when I am in the subway. I agree that it should be a multiple choice or a ranking question.

I use many e-mail clients depending on the situation and my location.
I use Outlook, iPhone and web-based.

I agree, it should allow multiple selection.

With word "mostly" this is single choice.

I send email through my forwarding addresses so that it can be forked and resent to me at several address.
I believe it makes me feel less lonely - necessary because I pretty much eliminated spam from my accounts.
After all, just imagine: How you'd feel if you were considered not worth the trouble to spam?

Go deeper. Consider your Zen roots.
Imagine if you were not even worth the effort . . . an effort that even includes randomly generated addresses that are usually doomed to fall into oblivion . . . their only effect is web-congestion.

About the spam: you know, if I wanted viagra I would have bought it the first time, right? The 3-millionth time still gets the same result and you keep sending the stupid spam, right? Why not send it to the fools trying to sell me a fake rolex?
Why can't they spam me with something I occasionally do buy? One day I will meet the spammer and kill him. No, I'll chain him up before a computer and make him delete 1000 spams a day before he can read the important stuff.

Although I have 4 email accounts I read them all mainlly on GMail WebMail, and only one of them is actually from an *@gmail.com.
This makes it supper easy to consolidate all my info and read it everywhere (on any computer with web access and on my BB).

Since we're at the office eight hours a day, an OS-based (i.e., Windows) mail client or web-based client are the obvious choices. You should have asked for email when not at the office.
