Does Pope use e-mail?
Email Pope Benedict XVI
The email address of Pope Benedict XVI is benedictxvi@vatican.va.It is unlikely you will receive a personal response if you send an email to the pope, but the Holy See does read, collect and route all mail. The Pope possibly has another private email address inside the Vatican.
Pope John Paul II, the First Pope of the Internet Age
When Karol Józef Wojtyla became Pope John Paul II in 1978, email was still in its infancy. The first email had been written seven years ago, but barely a handful of people knew computer networks existed at all.
Yet, John Paul II became the first email-savvy pontiff in history.
In late 2001, the pope reportedly apologized for injustices committed by the Roman Catholic Church in Oceania via email. Of course, the Holy Father would have preferred to visit the Pacific nations and deliver his words of penitence in person, but email was the second-best choice.

Did some receive a reply from the email address of the pope?
[...] 3 years ago, the time this blog was just started, I created a blog-post called Does Pope Use E-mail? . As you can see, there is a photo of the Pope. Then I started receiving about 1,000 unique hits [...]
am proud to be a catholic
Interesting I never thought about whether or not the pope could get email. Being Catholic this is great. Not that i have a reason to be emailing the Pope but it’s nice to know i can. I wonder what kind of emails he does get?
People bother him a lot, I guess
and I’m pretty sure he never reads all these emails – real receiver is his security and analysis team.
