Comments
1) Yes, I use e-mail for work, such as keeping in touch with supervisors.
2) Yes, I have followed up with library patrons with e-mail and, in some cases, phone.
3) No, I can't think of any other reasons I have had for using e-mail at work. Maybe if I had a project on the computer that I wanted to send to myself as a sort of file transfer.
4) Always the University account.

I have only used email to contact supervisors, and it's always the University email account.
