I haven't heard of charging for emails. Without going into specifics, I have emailed therapists who are "email savvy", as is becoming increasingly common with iphones and blackberries are prolific.
But without a really specific question or emergency, they're usually read and then discussed in the office because, and I can understand, things can be completely misconstrued over email and a therapist would rather have a back and forth conversation about what was said and not have the patient upset over a misread.
If anything, it is a reminder, a diary of sorts you could say, of what to talk in the office the next time. One could even imagine that they are talking directly to the therapist and they even understand it, even if you don't get a reply. I know that sounds counter intuitive, but it might help to "bear one's chest".
