You've Got Mail

AOL's "E-mail Addiction" survey examined the relationships Americans have with their e-mail accounts. The survey, conducted by the Opinion Research Corporation, polled 4,000 people in 20 cities. Among the findings: citizens of Miami check e-mail more than any other city, 40% of e-mail users have checked their mail in the middle of the night, and 41% check their e-mail first thing in the morning, before heading to work.
