Question being, do you still have notifications on for your school email on your phone even after graduating?
Send emails to their work emails using your school email. Though I am not working full-time yet, I am very sure that most people will not be checking their school email once they start working because they will already have too many emails to worry about on their work email.
When I work full-time though, I plan to link my school email to my work email so that all emails coming to my school email will go to my work email. I am pretty sure not everyone does this though.
I am not in your age cohort, so no. Why would you ever not use their work email though if it's available (guessable)?
Mine autoforwards to my Gmail, but I know some people who never set that up and now their inbox is shut down... so sometimes a lot, sometimes never.
Most schools actually shut down graduating seniors' email addresses within 6 months. Work email is what they are looking at all day, always use that unless it is a personal relationship, then use their personal email.
Can't access web based emails from work so I rarely check my personal one. If it's really important I'll forward to my work email then answer from there.
