There is no such concept.  SMS and e-mail is very different.  SMS comes
through the standard telephony layer into the system and is dispatched to
the app that can handle it (there is only that one place that SMS comes
from).  E-mail, however, is really defined by each app, and a particular
e-mail app may define and retrieve e-mail in very different ways than
another e-mail app.  For example, Gmail works very differently than the
generic Email app, and the system is not involved at all in these apps
retrieving and processing their e-mail.
