If you receive an email and a reply is requested, how long can you wait to reply to the email before it is considered rude?
How much time do you think is socially acceptable for an email reply?
Just curious.....

Personally, I respond to e-mails as soon as I know they are there. Whenever I check my e-mail. I think it's only considered rude if you have read it, and are choosing to ignore it. I don't think there's a socially acceptable time frame.
I'll remember that you asked this question if I ever have to email you! LOL!

Why not just reply when you read it. I think three days is enought time. But then I don't think I have ever read any rules about it. Some people only check their mail once a week if you are one of those I am sure I would understand.

I check my email all day long and reply as soon as I get them. I appreciate it when others reply just as quickly or in a few hours at least.

It really depends some people are at computers all day and can respond within minutes some it might take a week. Any longer then 2 weeks then that person probably shouldnt be using email.

when u get to it...if ur late, apoligize for being so busy... reply as fast as u can, because technology these days is made to have fast responses, so it just begs to be answered right away.
