Mine (Sprint version) has a built-in pop mail client that picks
up email automatically at scheduled intervals or on demand.  An
account came with the service but it can access others.  That lets
you read and respond while working offline.  I had to do a flash
update on the phone to get the mail program. If you don't have that
option there is a free pop client from eudora and some commercial
imap versions.

It beeps when something comes in so it's hard to ignore.  I interact
with several things through email so it always seems like the obvious
choice.

Sms messages are too short to be of much use except to tell you
to look elsewhere.  Email can hold the whole ticket and let you
respond.  How would the todo list get a response back to the
requester or database?
