Summer emails

If you are a faculty member on a 9- or 10-month contract, to what extent do you think you should be responsible to check your work emails during the two or three months you’re not under contract?

Personally, I check mine less frequently but still regularly. I support the right of folks to not check it at all over the summer, but I have other colleagues [and admins] who argue that we all have a responsibility to check it daily.
