Please state your model. For the simpler phones (like the 3210) you can
find it under: Messages (2) Message Setting (5) Common (2) Delivery
Reports (1). My digits indicate the shortcut menu number. For a more
advanced model you (say 9210) you go to Messaging / Accounts settings /
SMS.
Near these setting you will also find the default settings for how long
SMS will try to be delivered.

True - adding your return address is in that case quite similar to
turning on "Delivery reports" IMHO. =

I don't know about US GSM telcos, but at least around here (Sweden) you
have the option to have you mail sent to a mail account at the telco
(very similar to keitai I think). If so, you instantly get an SMS when a
mail arrives and you can get the rest in several different ways:
1) Bit-by-bit as SMS.
2) Read by WAP.
3) Fetch by POP/IMAP to your highend phone (say Nokia 9xxx series or
similar)
4) Use the telco webmail.
5) Use you ordinary computer to fetch the mail.
Personally, I do it the other way around: I keep mail locally, but have
a cron job that sends off the first 100 chars to my telco account
whenever I haven't read the mail for an hour. Then I get the SMS and can
fetch if from my local account instead (same options as above).
