Do you reply to all emails?

Not on here, but in your business or personal lives? I know on here it isn't a crime punishable by death not to reply but I am noticing an increasing tendency for people outside here to just not send a reply. Is it becoming common practice now or is it just me that is noticing it?

Nope i reply to very little. ...The bare minimum. Emails are so intrusive. And texts. I often don't reply unless i have to. My mum is always moaning at me about it.

I guess the problem i have is that people expect you to be contactable all the time now, and i refuse to be.

We make sure that either one of us replies to our messages....seems the right thing to do

I'd argue they are less intrusive than a phone call which requires immediate action and a response. I much prefer someone contact me via email/text.

But no, I'm fairly awful at answering things being both a fantastic procrastinator and having an terrible memory. It's such a great combination!

It depends on whether they actually require a reply. I get emails advising me that something has been sent or delivered. Pretty sure I don't need to reply to them.

All the ones that require a reply get a reply immediately. If I leave them they would get lost.

I get annoyed at clients who don't respond as I can't do what they need me to do on time unless I get their bloody answer. The forum gets more of my time when I get stuck waiting for their response.

At work, if it requires a reply and it is within my remit so to do, then of course, but not if it is merely imparting information.

If the sender requires confirmation that a mail has been received and opened by the recipient, then most email software allows them to send it with that option, which then automatically generates a notice back to the sender.

On here, no if they obviously haven't read and understood our profile, otherwise, yes.

So much Spam email on my personal one so rarely reply to anything. On my works email I reply to hardly anything either as it's mostly informational. We use IM software and I try and ignore that if I can lol.

all work e-mails that require a response get answered, it would be unprofessional not to and I have a system for following up on e-mails that I've sent that haven't been answered after a certain period of time.

Privately if somebody doesn't respond to contact from me after three attempts I stop contacting them and assume that they'll get in touch when they want to....or not.

At work I really can't. I would never get my job done if I responded to every single thing. I have to prioritise and be ruthless, there's just too many.
