because my notifier tells me... 
but when i do, i'm addict to it

Me too. Inbox Notifier keeps alerting me when a new message comes. It even gives a sneak preview of the message. So if it is some unneeded low priority junk, I don't care to open it. http://www.inbox.com/[^] takes greatest care of my time and energy to conserve them and use them for highest levels of productivity.

Agreed. Wish I could ignore email though.

Everyday I think that I'm a strange creature that I do an infinite number of Tabs to go through my mails during the working day.
Even though my gmail , msn, yahoo messengers notifies me with pops for new mails.
But it still the bad habit that I wish someday I can give up.
Oh I forget so say not only mails but also my groups ,my blogs, and my social network accounts.
Survey results says that many developers suffer from what I suffer.

Sounds to me like you need to fulfill your life ; try reading, sports or meditation. Entertainment is good to take an escapade from life but not to avoid it ! If it's the case, you should reconsider your priorities.

It depends on the day, because I check my e-mail as it comes in. I get information about changing requirements, results, to verify against my results and requests from different levels of clients that could change the my priority on a dime.

It would really have made the survey more useful if it distinguished between personal and business email (for those with such a distintion).
I might check personal email once or twice a day - based upon if anything important is expected. On the other hand, the in-house generated email is sent with the more-or-less expectation that it be read as soon as possible.
Unless the motivation is to instigate threads such as the one this post could cause, the Message-Meister has got to get it together somehow.*

One response (Never during working hours) tells me the question is in regards to personal email. If it was referring to business then this response is pointless.
I think the intention was to ask how often you check personal email while at work.

Heck, this is almost like work - we are trying to interpret the requirements

I'll concede to your premise, but will throw in why I acted as a bit of a stickler:
My office email is extremlely 'clean' - virutually nothing but internal business a a few select other-items (such as Linux Mag, W3C, and the like). Not so for most others - either by accident or design, they get all sorts of email: purchases, spam, etc. So, they're checking going to their boxes all day long. When I do get my incoming notification (and a resounding Homer Simpson 'woo-hoo') it's is for real business. My personal stuff is accessed via webMail based upon need (or occasionally, a exceptional lull in brain activity). Typically, these end up as delete-the-junk sessions.
So, my reply wasn't speaking for myself (hence why I must concede), but for what I observe.
Attention Poll-Meister: concession is real - I must be a bit dim this AM: my son brougth 4 bottles of wine for father's day and I happened to have the appropriate access device. And, I like the feeling of community that these polls nourish.

My primary function is email administration. In our organization we touted the phrase "incidental usage." Some people took it to heart. I have beaucoup trouble managing the space consumption because a large number of people use it for personal mail and have some emotional attachment to the 0's and 1's representing a personal contact. I have personal mail also but I do convince myself to part with most of it periodically. It's not a filing cabinet.
On the overall topic, my mail is open at the office 99% of the time. Rules see to it that personal messages and messages from mailing lists are placed in appropriate folders. If I see something pop up in my mailbox proper, I check it immediately. Personal mail is checked during slack time. Responding to one depends on available free time and how long it will take.

That wasn't my understanding. In order to get my personal email at the office I'd have to connect to Aol.com... and that's not going to happen.
On the other hand I was considering the argument, "I never check my email, because either A) my email is email I send to other people, or B) it's the company's email."
Like so many, the question should probably be rewritten.

Very good point.
Work e-mail I try to respond as soon as it comes in and have Outlook notify me when new mail arrives.
Personal e-mail I would check a few times during the day, depending on whether I was expecting something important.

If it was that question. I rarely check my business mail while I check my personal mail all the time.

I agree. Also, I check them in an isolated workstation without mingling them with my Outlook.

My Outlook (and the little Rocky) keeps alerting me new messages instantly to respond at an earliest.

I agree there should have been a separation but the line of demarcation is getting thinner as some people use Webmails for corporate purposes too.
