意思
To look at one's electronic mail messages.
文化背景
The 'Read Receipt' (수신 {확인|確認}) culture is very strong. Many Korean email services show exactly when the recipient opened the mail. This can lead to social pressure to respond quickly. In many companies, checking email is the first and last task of the day. It is common to send a 'receipt confirmation' email back just to say you have checked the information. When checking email from a superior, it is polite to use honorifics even when referring to the act of checking. You 'confirm' their 'precious' mail. Koreans often use portal-specific terms. Instead of 'check email,' someone might say 'Check your Naver' or 'Check your Kakao Mail.'
Drop the 'E'
In casual conversation, just say '메일' (mail) instead of '이메일'. It sounds much more natural.
Check vs. Read
If you want to emphasize that you read the whole thing, use '읽다'. If you just want to say you saw it, use '{확인|確認}하다'.
