I have e-mail on both of my mobile devices, iPhone and iPad but I never have them activated to send or receive e-mail unless I am specifically waiting for something or have to send something and then I tend to only activate them for the duration of me sending the message or until the one I am waiting for gets there.

Because my e-mail accounts are POP accounts I always download all messages from the mail server onto my desktop system. I do all processing there as well.

Even messages that I get on my phone will be downloaded when I am back at the desktop so I will end up processing them twice.

I do not like IMAP mail systems, I do not trust leaving my mail archive on some server somewhere that I don't control. I have to refer to old e-mail far to often to depend on the mail server storing my messages. I still have e-mail from 20 years ago that I refer to on occasion.
