Managing your email is a full time task. Its not just about the quantity but also because it can be addictive. It is bad enough when you are addicted to answering every single email you get. But now imagine those you interact with are addicted also. It is like a drug that keeps pulling you back for just one more thing. Which turns into hours instead of minutes?
