Spending too much time on email at work can be bad for mental health, according to a new report from Dr. Emma Russell, at Kingston Business School in the UK. She
analyzed 28 email users to determine how a worker's email habits influenced their work lives both positively and negatively. According to her research, the emails with the worst affect are those
'ping pong' email exchanges that go back and forth in real time. In addition, read receipts are likely to stress out employees. Responding to email after hours is also bad for mental health, according
to the study.
