   I've never been a big fan of Gmail, although you pretty much have to   
   sign up for it to keep your Phone and Tablet updated. What I did was   
   go to gMail and set it up to forward all incoming mail to my other   
   main eMail address so I don't miss anything and anyone I do want to   
   reply to I can reply from my other eMail address and switch them over.   
      
   Another thing I do.. I don't have a wife I can rely on for a second   
   cell phone so I take mine with me if I'm leaving the house for any   
   length of time, but I don't like being disturbed either so, unless   
   I'm expecting a serious call, I put the phone on Airplane Mode.   
   This saves battery power but allows for a quick startup if needed   
   and the phone is still functional for a lot of other things like   
   Camera and Games or as an eReader, etc..   
      
   Another option is putting it on Do Not Disturb mode, which I have   
   set up to only allow through calls from people in my Contacts list,   
   which at least blocks Spam calls and such..
