I have the ability to email as often as I want and my T will reply to my emails when she has a chance. We often do talk about my emails, except maybe the ones where I just say I am missing her, is she there - type of deal.
I also journal - I write to my T in my journal and give her my journal to read between sessions. Maybe if you talk to her about your emails, you could suggest seeing if you could move to this method. It woulds still allow you to write to your T every day while cutting back on the overall emails. It kind of depends on what you are getting out of the emailing and if she really is still ok with it. Since it's been going on for 2 yrs, it might be one of those situations where she didn't think it would keep up as long as it has and she doesn't want to change a boundary since she initially said it was ok.
I took can find comfort in the habit/ritual of emailing my T so I have to be careful to not allow my frequency to move into that... oh is x time of day, time for me to email my T just because I have for the last x number of days in a row. If you feel that you are just emailing her because it is a habit, you could see how you felt if you just skipped one day, or delayed for several hours or what not. These are just possible ideas if you decide you think you might be ready from a support perspective to cut back and you are only continuing because of the habit formation.
