Jun 17, 2019 at 10:18 comment added einpoklum I use email addresses on papers all the time. I mean, ok, not every day, but when I want to contact the author of a paper, I use his/her listed email address before trying anything else.
Apr 21, 2014 at 17:49 comment added Brian B One of the reasons I don't tend to use the email address from the paper is that, if it ends in .edu, I know it's likely to fail anyway. When I see an address with more (presumed) permanence, I am likelier to give it a try.
Aug 20, 2012 at 12:07 comment added walkmanyi @cbeleites: so maybe I am wrong in my answer if there is a significant number of people who do that. Well, one of the assumptions I made in the answer is that one has an on-line presence set up, that is a personal website hosting a collection of downloadable published papers. That completely removes the need to list an e-mail address in papers, but of course there are differences between cultures in different research fields.
Aug 20, 2012 at 11:46 comment added cbeleites I did at least twice in the last 2 years. And I've been contacted that way about twice as well (though I don't know for sure whether it was via the published email address or via googling for me which would lead to the same email address).
