Hi,

I'd like to know if the word 'email' is countable or uncountable.
It seems that a lot of people use it as countable noun.
Could anybody explain the usage?


Thanks in advance!!

Hi,

It certainly can be a countable noun.
I have three emails in my inbox.

It can be used as a plural form of itself.
I've got a lot of email in my inbox.

It is also a verb.
Email me when you get a chance.

I'm not sure how it can be used as an uncountable noun.
