　　Staffers are left tired, frustrated and unproductive as they struggle to cope with a constant deluge of emails, researchers from Glasgow and Paisley universities in Scotland have found.

　　More than a third said they thought they checked their inboxes every 15 minutes and 64 percent said they looked more than once an hour.

　　When researchers fitted monitors to their computers, workers were found to be viewing emails up to 40 times an hour.

　　About 33 percent said they felt stressed by the volume of emails and the need to reply quickly. A further 28 percent said they felt driven when they checked messages because of the pressure to respond.

　　Just 38 percent of workers were relaxed enough to wait a day or longer before replying.

　　Researchers found that many workers felt invaded by emails interrupting them as they tried to concentrate on their work. They felt pressured to switch applications to see whether the emails were urgent.

　　Karen Renaud, a computer scientist at Glasgow University, and Judith Ramsay, a psychologist at Paisley University, surveyed almost 200 workers.

　　They concluded, Email has become an indispensable tool in business. However, there is evidence that email can exert a powerful hold over its users and that many computer users experience stress as a result of email-related pressure.

　　Renaud said, Email is the thing that now causes us the most problems in our working lives. Its an amazing tool, but its got out of hand.
