Explanation:

- Option 1: Efficiently – This word denotes doing something in a well-organized and competent way. It doesn't fit well here as the sentence is about usage, not efficiency.

- Option 2: Primarily – This means for the most part or mainly, indicating that mobile internet usage was mainly for email initially. It fits the context of early limited use.

- Option 3: Importantly – This indicates significance or importance, which doesn't fit with the context of describing the initial usage of mobile internet.

- Option 4: Secondarily – This term is used for something of lesser importance or secondary. It doesn’t match the context, which intends to indicate primary use initially before expansion.

Overall, option 2 "primarily" is the most suitable word to fill the blank as it accurately describes how mobile internet was mainly used for email in its early days.
