        Checking email is a huge part of my job. When I was at Citi we averaged 16,000 emails a day. Efficient email handling is an absolute must.

          Remember that most of my work has been in administration, not engineering. Engineers need to not be interrupted. Admins are interrupt driven.

            How many admin tasks can you get done in less than 2 minutes? There aren't many I do. So even if I'm just doing admin, I won't be checking e-mail during each task and I reckon at best each task lasts 10 minutes or so. Of course some tasks allow for multi-tasking, but not all. I still don't believe you can be very productive.

              When I was at Citi, average turn around time was under five minutes. So, nearly all, really. Remember not Windows, so things are much, much faster.

                I have a lot of that. Anytime that I'm idle even for a second I'm on email or posting on a thread.

                  9 hours in a work day * 60 mins * 60 secs = 32400

                  How can you honestly handle 1 email every 2 seconds?

                    I have a general 5 minute response time on all emails during business hours as well. That doesn't take into account my pm's and chats from here either.

                        I have lots of templates for copy pasting to answer emails. I get asked the same 100 questions every day.
