Does anyone use emails for personal use anymore?

I still use email for work and for stuff I order online,
but since my 80+year old mother finally started texting, I don't think I've emailed anyone in quite a while.

Yes, my mom still emails. And I have a friend that got rid of his cell phone and the only way I can reach him is through email.

I hate my personal email. It serves a purpose I guess, but I hate when my phone gives me a notification and it's a personal email.

Find it useful for organizing bachelorette parties and catching a good sale.

I do some for most automated things, and for emailing people I don't have cell numbers for.

I'm on a listserv with my college buddies, and I love it. We talk politics, religion, life, sports, and everything else on it. And it is better than a group text because my phone isn't buzzing constantly. And emails are easier to follow.

I use it for anything I don't want coming to my work email. I live outside the US so I use messaging services or personal email to stay in touch with people back home.

I don't use my work email for anything personal. Helps because when I go on vacation I can turn it off and not be bothered.

Occasionally. We have a couple different groups set up that we all reply to. And I'll email certain people that I know don't text. It is good for announcement type things. And calendar entries to your phone.

It's primarily used for kids' school stuff, their sports, etc.

I also still use it as a small document repository for redundancy(just a few word and pdf docs).

But to answer OP. I RARELY send an email to someone like "hey what's up"
