My ex-T didn't have a way to contact him besides a call, but he would always call back like ASAP. He and I once talked about how we both thought email wasn't a great idea between a T and a client because so much could be misunderstood over email, as email has no tone. So if a client is upset about something and the T writes back, but the client can only read the words and hear no tone, it can be taken in so many ways, and sometimes incorrectly, which can lead to even more pain. How many times on here have you seen threads about such a topic? I have seen alot. Since email has no tone, it's a difficult tool to use as communication for anything with emotion in it, even in personal relationships, etc.

I also think some Ts want to keep certain boundaries in place where their life is their own at certain times, and they can get on the computer and relax, play video games, read articles, email friends, etc., and not be concerned about dealing with clients. Because they really do stress out about us and worry about us (the good ones) and they need to be able to relax and have their down time too so they can keep doing their jobs well. Allowing clients to email doesn't turn off their "therapy" sides as emails can appear at any time, and they never get to be "not therapists".

Anyway, those are my thoughts. I am sure others will add their own. Hang in there...maybe it would help to write out your feelings and what you would want to be saying to your T in an email but just not send it. And eventually you could maybe print them out and bring some of them to your sessions and talk about them, because obviously what you have to say and what you are feeling is so important.
