One annoyance associated with e-mail is the amount of time that businesspeople spend answering their e-mail today. Researchers have found that most managers can deal with e-mail messages at an average rate of about five minutes per message. Some messages can be deleted within a few seconds, but those are balanced by the e-mails that require the manager to spend much more time finding facts, checking files, making phone calls, and doing other tasks as part of answering e-mail.
A second major irritation brought by e-mail is the computer virus, more simply known as a virus, which is a program that attaches itself to another program and can cause damage when the host program is activated.
Probably the most frustrating and expensive problem associated with e-mail today is the issue of unsolicited commercial e-mail.
