On of the important demerit of Email is that we to always check for new mails. Here is a good solution for that. We will receive emails alerts on mobile through sms (Only mail alerts, not full email). When a new mail is arrived in the inbox a message is sent to mobile saying "You have a mail from xxxxxx@gmail.com Subject:XXXXX". So there is no need to check inbox for new mails frequently, just
keep in touch with your mobile.
