How long does it take to get an email?

How long does it take to get an email right after you send it?

  • Answer:

    Usually little more then a few minutes, but it can be slower depending on the number of servers, file size of the email, individual email security settings, and spam settings on the servers it's going from, through, and to. In short, typically a few seconds to a few minutes though sometimes never.

Usually within about 3 minutes...Unless its photos or some other kind of attachment, it can take awhile. Ive seen it take like an hour or so, depending on where its going and how busy online is.

usually right away but, sometimes if the internet service is acting up or being slow it can take a few minutes.
