I can't stand having crap like forwards and other general friends'/family emails going to my work inbox... how about you ?

I don't let anyone know my work email.

Not only could I potentially get fired for it, but I would be very pissed to come to work and look at my box to see chain mails from my stupid and bored relatives.

My work e-mail is used strictly for work related stuff. Plenty of other e-mail addy's out there for personal stuff.

I think there's a huge difference between what ATOT's general population would say, and what the entire general population would say.

The only time I used my work mail for personal correspondance was when my mom (who worked for the same company) sent mail to me.

Well it's still early in the poll, but I'm surprised that, that many of us actually keep the work email for work only. Way too many people I know don't. They even discuss private personal stuff in the work email.

Most of the people I know do not separate their personal content from their work addresses.

The author search seems to still be working.

WRT OP, work is for work only as much as is possible. There;s a reason why I have a personal email acct that I can access via the web.
