    I know a lot of people get emails on their phones and the phones bleep or ding to let the user know.

    Up until now I send emails without this is mind and just think it goes into an inbox they'll check at some point. I also have to email people in dry different time zones and it hasn't occurred to me their phone might be bleeping at 4am their time.

    In this day and age are emails now like texts ? Where you have to consider the time?

    The person has the option of switching their phone off or putting it in do not disturb mode. It's not really the senders fault if they receiver is in a different time zone.

    It's up to the receiver to stop notifications. Go ahead and send the mail when you like.
