I'll concede to your premise, but will throw in why I acted as a bit of a stickler:
My office email is extremlely 'clean' - virutually nothing but internal business a a few select other-items (such as Linux Mag, W3C, and the like). Not so for most others - either by accident or design, they get all sorts of email: purchases, spam, etc. So, they're checking going to their boxes all day long. When I do get my incoming notification (and a resounding Homer Simpson 'woo-hoo') it's is for real business. My personal stuff is accessed via webMail based upon need (or occasionally, a exceptional lull in brain activity). Typically, these end up as delete-the-junk sessions.
So, my reply wasn't speaking for myself (hence why I must concede), but for what I observe.
Attention Poll-Meister: concession is real - I must be a bit dim this AM: my son brougth 4 bottles of wine for father's day and I happened to have the appropriate access device. And, I like the feeling of community that these polls nourish.

My primary function is email administration. In our organization we touted the phrase "incidental usage." Some people took it to heart. I have beaucoup trouble managing the space consumption because a large number of people use it for personal mail and have some emotional attachment to the 0's and 1's representing a personal contact. I have personal mail also but I do convince myself to part with most of it periodically. It's not a filing cabinet.
On the overall topic, my mail is open at the office 99% of the time. Rules see to it that personal messages and messages from mailing lists are placed in appropriate folders. If I see something pop up in my mailbox proper, I check it immediately. Personal mail is checked during slack time. Responding to one depends on available free time and how long it will take.

That wasn't my understanding. In order to get my personal email at the office I'd have to connect to Aol.com... and that's not going to happen.
On the other hand I was considering the argument, "I never check my email, because either A) my email is email I send to other people, or B) it's the company's email."
Like so many, the question should probably be rewritten.

Very good point.
Work e-mail I try to respond as soon as it comes in and have Outlook notify me when new mail arrives.
Personal e-mail I would check a few times during the day, depending on whether I was expecting something important.

If it was that question. I rarely check my business mail while I check my personal mail all the time.

I agree. Also, I check them in an isolated workstation without mingling them with my Outlook.

My Outlook (and the little Rocky) keeps alerting me new messages instantly to respond at an earliest.

I agree there should have been a separation but the line of demarcation is getting thinner as some people use Webmails for corporate purposes too.

How to end the session, while the user close the browser?

Call Session.Abandon() this ends the session
Or it ends when the session time outs

But in reality, I check my email when I get that little icon that tells me that an email has arrived.

At work, email is a prime method of communication, so I monitor my work email account constantly throughout the day. Personal email accounts get checked once a day (or less) when not at work.

That is a good time to check it.

Hello, my name is Shog, and...
...Yeah. It's that bad. My loves of caffeine, tobacco, alcohol... all pale before my addiction to email. I have no excuse - i don't actually read most of the messages, much less reply to them. But i gotta check, i gotta check, i just gotsta know... if there's anything new. Mmm... smell that newy goodness... newness...
Right now, i'm working on using a big fat pile of blog feeds as sort of a digital methadone to wean myself off of email. It's not working. Yet another addiction to schedule in... *sigh*... if this keeps up, i may have to give up huffing paint.
