Who here uses their school / college e-mails. What does your school / college / University use? Office 365? Also, how often do you check them and do you have them set up on your phone?
Our college uses Office Live 365
I check them mostly every other day
I have them set-up on my iPad

Yeah at college/sixth form, which I've finished now, we had to check our emails daily and it was the main way for them to contact us so yeah it was essential that we checked them all the time. Which my iPhone did for me anyway :P. I now have email for uni.

Haha, do you actually mean the school doesn't have any or you just don't use them?

College we used outlook, I used it basically for just emailing course work to my history teacher.
My University I think uses outlook as well, looks horrid.
just got mine and not exactly sure what we use but we've been advised to use them daily so i guess i will

I used to use mine a lot, but I always emailed my teachers and things like that. I can probably still access my college email even though I left nearly two years ago.
My uni uses Novell GroupWise

i think so! i've not been bothered too much about it to check as it's very inactive and we never get anything sent to them anyway :P
We used Outlook, but we never checked it ever.

My uni keeps messing around with it so the sign-in links never work :/ and they keep messing up my password so I have no idea!
Squirrelmail (I think that's what it was called) before but oh god that was even WORSE.
I check emails on my phone anyway, only go on browser when there's a link or something I can't do on my phone.
on phone xx

My old college email was pretty useless, just tend to be spammed with sports crap or the odd message mass sent to student with something like "I am gay" on it. The only use I got out of it was to store my work.

Lecturers email us pretty much after each lecture. Get Uni wide announcements etc on there weekly, get loads of employment options and advertising, for example I get emailed if Mercedes F1 have a seminar at our Uni or are hiring for post-grads :)
And of course it's the easiest way for me to contact my tutor, so yes, many many emails :P

Office 365 which is linked to my phone and also teachers can send texts to classes / individual students.
I do indeed. I couldn't do without it.. and I can access my emails at home. It's not uncommon for one of us having to connect up to our machines from home either :)

We have Office 365 in college but no one uses it, lecturers just e-mail our normal e-mails if they want anything.
