Discussions recently (and a lot of other times) on here have always made me think of this poll.
I'd be interested in knowing the ways people have of reaching their T, as well as whether they like it that way.
My T doesn't have an email, on purpose. He's only reachable on three days of the week. However, if he's ever not around, I'm always informed and he regularly checks his texts and voice mails on the days he works.
For me, it'd be uncomfortable to be able to email (given that there I expect longer answers, some time put into it, for the majority of the time) or be able to reach out every day of the week. I'd probably reach out way more than I do currently if I knew that was an option, and while I think support is a good thing sometimes and can help in the near term, I appreciate that during a normal day I often have to deal without any contact to my T. My T has also loosened his boundaries like working late or offering more sessions for some time on occasions. Sometimes it's hard and there's bad days, but I feel in the longer term, it's currently helping me to make decisions that I couldn't have made if my T had always been available to talk right away.
