I am not sure how would it be able to send any emails in case somone does a hard reset as all email settings would be lost. I think the only option would be to get an SMS nsent back to sender or another phone number..
Of course I would love to know if there is a UC way / another way to get my email account setup automatically on hard reset.

If someone actually steal your phone, I would think they are not smart enough to know to do hard reset if your phone is not lock. If it is not lock and they can make phone call, why they bother to do anything with it. They will probably just try to make as much free phone call as they can before you report the phone lost. Or just eBay off the phone without even using it. Probably has enough time to track the phone for one day before the battery ran out since they likely won't recharge it and constantly on the phone to make free call.
And if they are smart enough to do hard reset, they probably know enough to flash the phone with new ROM. Most people don't even know how to do hard reset until they flash with new ROM and it require them to hard reset to make the phone stable. For people that don't flash with new ROM, I bet most (if not all) don't know how to hard reset.
