Just use any email application and don't have it online all day, except when you manually sync.

I bet you could use Mail.app and create an automator task to run on a schedule. Or just use a cron job.

The idea is more about instilling a culture of treating email or something like it in a specific way by introducing restrictions which are unavoidable and not about changing how one person reads email.

That's why I included the second part of my comment. It automates it so you don't have to think about it.
