Convenience, and I can still choose to not read Orr turn off email on my phone, in fact I fetch email manually. Mainly I was agreeing with the comment that people's expectation of instant communication, IE I'm on the phone with you and asking if you got the email I just sent? Email was never originally designed to have to deliver immediately in fact it designed to repeatedly try for days. I think that is the point the OP was trying to make. It's only since the world has become so connected, that peoples expectations have become instant. Most of the time email is rapidly delivered, and that causes confusion for people when it gets delayed.
