Time changes all things.

  I'm not unsympathetic to the argument that, if you're a manager, you should keep on top of your email. If your work involves coordinating other people, you'll spend most of your time in email anyway. But that's as far as it goes. I'm not a manager. When I'm at work on my computer, I want my email client to not pester me. Instead, I will go to it once or twice a day when I've reached a natural pause in my work. When I'm at home on my tablet, I want my email client to not pester me. Instead, I want to read the news, watch a movie, or otherwise enjoy myself unmolested. If something is urgent, I can receive calls and pages on my phone. My phone has an email client. I don't want it to pester me, either.
