I either read them on my Galaxy S3 or on my laptop. The new "Compose" function in gmail really grinds my gears, so I finally configured the Mozilla Thunderbird email client, and I've been using that full-time. I'm loving it.

I read them on my phone and my laptop and PC

I tend to check my phone often throughout the day and then respond and read them properly when I start work for the day later in the evening

I mainly use my iPhone. I am constantly using it to check my emails. I use it to send quick replies, but I usually wait until I am at my desk to write more in-depth emails.

I've used the Samsung S3 and S4, but I found them not to be as efficient when writing emails.

Thanks

Damn, I'm actually thinking of getting an S4. Just wondering why you find it to be not as efficient as sending emails on an iPhone?

I usually read most of my emails on my phone but reply when I get home, because for some reason, when I send a email using my phone's email app, it sends the same email twice.

I have a blackberry tablet I bought on the cheap, with a stand and a wireless keyboard. I have this plugged in all day on my desk. The the sole purpose of the tablet is to supply me with a constant stream of my email accounts.

I like to me quick when replying to emails so this for me is the best way.

I do use my phone a lot when out and about for emails though.

Thanks

Mostly, I use my laptop but when I am too busy and a I have a lot of programs opened, I use my iPhone so I can notice right away if I have a new email. I compose and reply emails in my laptop so I can check properly for any errors.

Thanks

I've really surprised with the results.

I thought that smartphones would be miles ahead but it's nice to see people checking on their computers instead of being attached 24/7 to their phone checking their emails.

Maybe they just check their Facebook updates instead

Thanks for everyone's input.

Hopefully more will join in and vote.

My main e-mail address is POP3 and I download my e-mails straight to my computer so this is my main method.

I have various web-based e-mail accounts for different things and I often check these on the go throughout the day on my smartphone if I'm away from my computer. But even with these I'll usually wait until I'm back at my computer before responding. I'm not a fan of mobile devices for performing tasks such as writing e-mails

Glad to see the home/laptop cpu is in the lead. As many people as there are now walking around with eyes glued to their mobile devices, I wasn't sure what would be the most common now lol.

All of the above, but primarily computer/smartphone.

On the one hand, I really hate the feeling of being distracted by having my phone with me all the time and feeling like I should check in. On the other hand, I do feel like I have more freedom to roam around and be able to answer anything "urgent".

I remember when I first got started online in 2005. I was on vacation with my wife and my business was still a little hodge-podge. I was in Monterey, CA with my wife and felt like I needed to go to the hotel's computer room to put out some fires....this was primarily because I couldn't answer emails on my non-smartphone and didn't have a laptop.

I read my emails primarily on my phone. When i'm on the computer, i dont check my email so often, as i just strive to "get on" and "get off", and go on with the rest of my day. I imagine that as the iPhone and Android phones become more advanced, more and more people will start using their phone to do alot of things...

...such as reading ebooks, storing files, checking emails, edit websites, market online, and of course... talk.

I read mine on whatever computer I'm at, at pre-scheduled
times throughout the day, with one final check from my
iPhone late at night.

I basically keep email, phone calls, and even text messages
under control by having set time to read and respond to
each :-)

Yes, I'm one of those people who doesn't even read text
messages the second that they come in

I read mine from left to right. Although I delete more than I read much like the rest of the world. Email is still a valuable tool but it has been over exploited, the money is to be made in SMS until that get's overused too.

12- 18% open rates for email 98% for text messages, look at your inbox and see how many offers you get, then look at your phone and see how many offers you received by SMS. See the opportunity?

  It depends on where I am at the time... I don't get that many emails so when I do get one I know its important and check it wherever I am whether that may be my laptop or my phone.

Years ago, when a friend first got e-mail on his blackberry I remember asking him "doesn't that drive you nuts to tied to your e-mail all the time" He replied that it actually reduced his stress level because he didn't dread going to the computer and finding an overflowing inbox.

I use my phone to read most e-mail and, as others have said, use the laptop for longer replies. I have a very short attention span and zero patience, so processing e-mail while I'm in the checkout line at walmart (or other frustrating waiting games) solves two problems at once - keeps me from getting irritated and keeps my inbox under control.

Just deleting the obvious junk using my phone throughout the day makes my inbox much more manageable. However, there are times I spend the whole day working in the yard and leave the phone in the house. People seem shocked and half offended anymore if you don't answer the second they call/text. Oh well.

Thanks

I use my MacBook and Smartphone 99.9% of the time. But by keeping the majority of my mail online means I have the flexibility to read it pretty much anywhere.
