Fair enough, if that's your preference.  Personally, I couldn't disagree
more and find it is NOT productive to get notice of new mail every time
one comes.  I get around a 100-300 emails a day, some very critical to
my business but most mailing list traffic.  I find no trouble jumping
between desktops to check my mail when my time and inclination permits.
Anymore than this and I'd be distracted and go crazy :-)
