#4I just use "mail". email vs. postal mail or physical mail when it needs further disambiguation.

#6I have switched from basically real-time email push correspondence to manual fetch every day or two. Basically, when I feel like it. My mail traffic has dropped from ~50 to 1 to 2 a day.
It's hard to say whether it benefited me or not, but I'm sure of one thing - I don't waste time on email anymore.

Does anyone know if its possible to hack GMail such that it only updates your inbox at certain times? I've fallen into a habit of checking it more often than I should (on a computer, both work and personal) and it would certainly help me if the inbox just didn't update with new mail continuously.

#10But people still speak with it in there, great quote btw:
'I don't even have an e-mail address. I have reached an age where my main purpose is not to receive messages.' --- Umberto Eco, quoted in the New Yorker
