With all seriousness, part of being a part of a team is being in the loop. If your members aren't checking their mail, they'll need to learn this habit eventually. Help them with it.

I'm pretty much with these two posts. I'm not interested in doing postal mail, tweeting, Myspacing, IMing, Facebooking, telepathy, calling on their cell phone or skywriting just for a roboteer that can't be bothered to look at the website for important info once a day.
It's their job to know what's going on, they need to make an effort to find it out. If they can't be bothered then tough.
This is number one on my peeve list. I had a person that insisted, and was very vocal about me sending them an email for every update. I put them on ''monitor this page'' on the wiki where announcements are made. Page gets updated they get an email saying "New changes on the Announcement page. " Problem solved!
