      @Dashrender That approach. Pushed, but no alerts. Check it when convenient or needed. Could set alerts for VIPs (SO, family, etc), haven't been compelled to that just yet.

        That's what I do. Push but no alert.

          I do not even mess with personal email on my cell phone, nor do I really require it for email at all, but for when I do, it is pushed.

          Though honestly you probably could chain me to my desk for a full day and I wouldn't even notice, so email on phone is generally a moot point.

            I have been annoying people for a while with a copy of the old AOL "You've got mail" WAV file set as the notification on my iPhone. I generally have it on vibrate or on my headset, but i like to specifically turn it on in some situations

              I have email on every device that I touch. I don't even want to use the loo without having email access. 😉

                    AJ you know you are jealous of his WAV file.

                    A buddy of mine has his Android set to yell "warning, warning, it's the wife" when his wife calls.

                        I have push notifications setup on my IPhone but on my tablets (yes plural) I have email there but no notifications setup for them. My phone is always at least within arm's reach if not in a pocket and my tablets are on my desk and being used. When I had them all pushing email and notifications setup on everything with my desktop and laptops each dinging when I got email it was a bit annoying and took a good 5 seconds for the noise to stop 😛

                          That's a good idea @minion-queen my tablets all beep and bop unnecessarily. I'm going to adjust that.

                                  I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned not pushing e-mail to conserve battery life.

                                    @ajstringham it was even driving me a bit nuts.

                                    @networknerd The battery life on my devices is so good that pushing email hasn't been an issue at all.

                                      @networknerd I agree with @minion-queen. I haven't had issues with battery life.

                                        I have my phone set up to only push during the work days. On weekends, I don't wish to be a slave to email, so it's set for manual.

                                          Yes, I would agree that pushing emails makes you a slave to it. I have also heard that there is a measurable stress level that is activated and can be bad for you long term when these notifications go off (especially in the IT world where email is the main form of communication with automated emails and CC's etc). My personal opinion however is that you have to judge your own personality type to discern whether or not this is stressful for you. Other possibilities include only turning on notifications to critical email to reduce the number of alerts received, utilizing your filter so that non critical emails do not go into your inbox for notification, or just going back to facsimile.

                                            I'm the opposite. If you push emails to me and I don't get alerted, I know that nothing is wrong and no one needs me. If I don't push emails I live in a state of "maybe something bad has happened and I haven't heard about it yet." I find nothing more comforting than push emails so that I have the benefit of being able to truly relax knowing that I have not missed something.
