^ what I was about to say -- and that in fact it could be that part of the reason your T didn't want to guarantee response, if he doesn't check it every day. There's no reason to assume he's seen it.
I don't check mine every day, and tell family and friends that they should not consider it a way to contact me in an emergency, but can also attest that it's difficult for some to register that it's really the case. In my last job I practically lived in my email box though, receiving sometimes hundreds every day, and a responsibility to respond to all of them within 24 hours, so I became pretty burnt out on being beholden to read emails, especially in my personal time. There could be many reasons a person wouldn't want to or be able to make email management a hard and fast daily task though.
