Give your laptop a dynamic name, and its own email subdomain. Make the name be 
the highest priority MX. The mail will be SMTPed to you within a few minutes 
of you clocking on. You may want to tickle the sending mailserver to hurry 
the SMTP retries along a bit when you connect and/or shut them off when you 
leave.
