Do you ever send e-mail to yourself?

[JVS]

Poll question: Do you ever send e-mail to yourself?

I just sent myself some information that I will want later. Is this a rational act or insanity?

[kick-ass-bob]

1. It's how I remind myself to do something.

[BooScout]

5. Same here. n/t

[progmom]

2. i'll do that, or set it up as an outlook appointment

:shrug:

[Wickerman]

3. never do

don't you guys know that ISP's can read those emails and they can link whatever you say directly back to you?! :tinfoilhat:

[JVS]

29. Oh no!

[bicentennial_baby]

4. I do it...

b/c I don't have a printer at home, so I just email myself docs to print out at school...that way I don't have to remember a disk before I leave in the a.m

6. I'd never have anything I wanted when I needed if I didn't

I'm constantly surfing for new sources of genealogy info. I bookmark sites on all 3 computers, and can't remember what I have where.

I e-mail myself constantly with updated GEDCOM files and great internet sites.

There is no shame!

25. (Off topic) I absolutely love what the

Jesus picture in your sig line says and I don't even consider myself Christian. Bravo for being openminded and saying something about the jerks who use that religion as an excuse to hate and sometimes even hurt people...

27. ditto post 25

And I e-mail myself all the time too.
My trouble is keeping up with all of my mail accounts. :)

7. its the quickest and easiest way to send files home and vice versa n/y

[ET Awful]

8. I e-mail my home account from my work account all the time to

remind me to do stuff when I get home.

The sending is the easy part, I usually ignore e-mails I receive from myself though, after all what could I tell myself that I don't already know?

:evilgrin:

9. I send a lot of info (notes, images, URLs, etc.) to myself

using my Yahoo email address. That way, I can access it from any place that has an internet connection.

10. Yep, good way to save information for later when you aren't at home

[RPM]

13. yup - i do that too.

[donheld]

11. I e-mail myself from work to home all the time

or visa versa, what's the big deal? :shrug:

[Ikonoklast]

12. Yep. Don't have to take the laptop home all the time.

That way I get to see whatever it was when I go on-line at the house.

[dolo amber]

14. I wondered if you meant purposely or accidentally...

Sure I have when it was something I knew I'd otherwise forget or lose. But no, never ever accidentally...that would just be humiliating. No sir, not me. Never. :blush:

15. When I send attachments to make sure they went through okay

and I will also email myself articles and such from school so I don't have to pay 20 cents per page to print them at school x( my school is so greedy!

[hfojvt]

16. when I got no mail for a while

I would send from my hotmail account to my local ISP just to make sure it was still working. I would send my future self some kind of positive message like "you da man, baby". And it actually made me feel good to read stuff like that even though I knew the sender was only joking.

17. Sometimes someone will send me a file to my work address. Often I will

send that file to a home e-mail address so I can save it to my home hard drive.

[Left Is Write]

18. Sure. Sometimes I do it to test one email address to another.

Sometimes I just need/want to save some info somewhere other than the original email address, and other times I sent myself reminder notes.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

19. Yes, but what kind of email? Do you send RW clone mail? Porn or viagra

spam?

[skygazer]

20. I do it all the time

Makes perfect sense to me - it's a good way to remind myself of something.

[MrSlayer]

21. Yeah, I email stuff to myself all the time.

Confirmation numbers and stuff like that. Makes them easy to save and reference.

[sparky_in_ma]

22. Yes

I e-mail to work if I have a thought at home so I don't forget.:blush:

[bigwillq]

23. Sometimes for work purposes

If I'm at my b/fs or some one else house and I need to do some work, I'll type it up on the computer and then send it to my e-mail.

[Jamastiene]

24. I do it all the time and think

it is perfectly normal. More or less, if you don't get email for a long time, you can email yourself to see if your inbox is receiving mail like it is supposed to. Also, you can email yourself links if you are on a computer away from home and find a cool site. That way you don't have to manually write http blah blah blah. Sometimes, that could take forever and you could find out you missed something and have to research to find it again. Also, you can email yourself to remind yourself to do a defragment or other system maintenance type thing to your computer or email yourself a recipe you just heard before you forget it...Tons of reasons to email yourself. Nothing wrong with it.

26. My SO ignores all emails I send him, sooo

if I find some info or a cool site that I want to show him, I email myself the link to show him later. It's also how I remind myself of things I must get done.

I can't feel too bad though, because he ignores all other emails, too. :)

28. My office has two rooms, and I use email to send files

between the computer in one room and the computer in the other room.

What? It's perfectly normal.
