You might want to just have the emails of a certain client or clients forwarded, or one idea would be to tell clients to enter something like "Text Jim" in the subject to get the email to you quickly. Another way, if you have the capability, is to have another special email address set up like "client@yourdomain.com" or "urgent@yourdomain.com". This way you can have all emails to this address only sent to your phone.
Steps to set this up are below. Flash video of the process is here.
1. We're setting up a rule to send messages from a certain person to the cell phone, so go to one of their emails and right-click on it. Select the Create Rule option.
2. Note that the first screen already has the box checked to process this rule for this person's emails that you've received. Click on Next.
3. The next box is where you select the option "forward it to people or distribution list". Click that box and then at the bottom click on the link "people or distribution list".
4. Enter the text message address of your phone in the To: box at the bottom, as in 5555551212@vtext.com.
Click Next, click Next again to skip the next step.
5. Name your rule, make sure the "Turn on Rule" box is checked and click on Finished.
