An email isn't a phone call... If I email you at 4:00 AM it's because I'm working at 4:00 AM, not because I expect you to be working at 4:00 AM.
Yeah, who cares when someone sends the email. If your boss expects you to start responding to emails at obscene times, that's another matter.
Exactly. That's why I don't enable email notifications on my phone, and I won't see your 4am email until I roll into the office at 9:15am.
This is true, but when I slack you at 4:00AM...
No... IM is still asynchronous. You and I can have a conversation over time...
