I like knowing when I have email arriving the minute it hits my inbox. I don't always check at it that very moment it but I like having the option to do so when it is convenient to me and not disruptive to others. I like this option because I am required to login at work everytime I use the internet or if I am traveling, and have no internet on a laptop, this is a great way to keep up with my communications. I scan my emails when I have time, and it is appropriate, and if there is something that deems my immediate attention, then I login to the web and respond at work or wait until I get to the hotel. The only exception to this if the sender just needs a yes/no type/quck high level answer. This way, I am not constantly logging on the net at work and I can respond to those emails that need my attention. I love it and can't imagine NOT having it ever again.

Bob, I agree with you that one can really improve their customer service by checking "all the time"--if you don't get a lot of notifications then it's mostly a nonissue--I'm more writing from the perspective of trying to manage the expectations of those emailing you.
