You know that you can have the phone alert you when you get new email right? (Settings > Sounds > New Email). I turned off that one early, so I forget if it persists an indicator on the screen, e.g., even if the phone is muted.
The vibrate indicator only serves its notification purpose if you have the phone on you when a message arrives otherwise you have no way of knowing without unlocking the screen.
