One of the exchange servers at work went bang at midday and since then I can't send or receive email and (especially as I'm at home) I can't really work successfully!

I have been trying to think how I actually did any work without email.

Yes quite easily - either use a web based email or use the lost art of actually talking. A task I find quite hard to get over to some of out sales people who think thye can do all their business over IM & email.

It would be heaven: the customers almost never contact me by mail, so all I would miss out on would be all the management BS, plus nonsense from my colleagues.

Sadly yes, just means more phone traffic.

ditto, I switch my email off when I want to get some work done but my phone rings more instead.

Phone call usually starts "I sent you an email like an hour ago and you havent replied"

I install mail servers so I guess you could say no I cant do my job without email

Lots of people I work with answer emails as soon as they drop into their inbox. I only open Outlook once or twice a day. If it's urgent they can call me.

That is all interesting, I actually find phone calls intrusive these days and much prefer to communicate via email. It means that I can do many things at the same time and (in an unsocial way) don't have to waste time with the nicities of "How are you" etc...

I get about 20 or so emails of 'importance' every half an hour I guess, so without it work builds up. So much so when the server came back up inthe evening I spent the next 4 hours replying.

I can quite easily work without mail. We use Lotus Notes, so we are virtually working without it anyway.

I just ring people if I have to - or use AT&T interwise.
