checking email
Scanning your inbox
Checking email is the routine act of opening an email application or website to see if new messages have arrived and reading what's there.
The phrase treats email as a location to be visited rather than messages to be received: I check my email first thing every morning.
The activity ranges from a quick glance to a prolonged session of reading and responding.
