I think once a day is a good number. I aim for 1-2 times a day (once in morning, once at night). Checking more than this seems like a huge time-waster unless there's a clear reason why it's crucial for performing one's job. I think most people underestimate the sheer amount of time lost to checking e-mail, after accounting for time lost due to context-switching.
