Ask HN: How quickly do you expect email responses or respond yourself?
Obviously, the priority of the email's content has a big effect on response times, but in general, how long do you expect it to take for someone to respond? Work-related, weekend-planning, recruiting, general inquiries from friends-of-friends, or whatever.
Similarly, how many hours after sending an email do you assume it has been read? 2 hours? 4 hours? 12 hours? a day? Do you assume that an email you sent in the morning of a weekday will absolutely have been read by the end of that night? And whatever time range you expect an email to have been read, what is your expectations for a response?
