Well, if it helps, think of the "My Room" page as a secondary e-mail account that ONLY receives e-mail about then it's your turn.
For most people on Eyeplay, an e-mail feature would be a bit obnoxious, since their inbox would quickly fill, and it's easier just to check the actual site.
You could always try joining more sessions, so checking would make more sense for you. Sometimes it amazes me how much I have to coax you gamers into actually playing games.
