Private Message Alerts?

I like to reply to my private messages asap, this was easy when I had the TB app which alerted me right away. Since that app disappeared the only way I know if I got a message is going to the home page of the site to see. I tire of this and was wondering if there is a way I can set up my account where I get at least a email when I get a private message? I have looked through my control panel and cant find it but I was pretty sure there was at one point.

Thank you
 
I understand that , its the same on phones but I am hoping there is a way that if I get a private message that I get a email sent to my email address, that way my phone beeps that I have a email so I can open it and see "oh new message at tb" and thus go to the tb webpage and check my message. I just was hoping there was some system that alerted me I have a new message without actually having to come to the website and see. Ebay has this system to where if you get a message you are sent a email and my phone alerts me that I have a new email from ebay and thus I check my ebay page.
