Similar to selective hearing, but when a colleague (usually a Manager) only chooses to respond to e-mails which suit their needs.
Typically, this is because they don't know *how* to respond, as a result of being incompetent.
They do this regardless of the impact their lack of reply has on their staff/colleagues.
Ultimately, they will not be held responsible for their lack of response and the blame will fall on the person who was awaiting their response!

Corey: "Yeah, mate."
Ben: "..... Can you let me know how to move forward on that? I need your guidance."
Corey: "Sure! I'll reply to you when I'm at my desk."
Matt: "Corey won't reply to your e-mail. He has selective e-mail, remember?"
Ben: "Shit."

Get the You've got mail mug.(verb) synonymous with reject -- to force an unwanted call to your voice mail. Typically used in the past tense, since the person having the action performed on him/her is unaware until the v-mailing occurs. While getting sent to vmail can occur for good reason i.e. person being called is in class/at work or talking with someone else, it tends to create feelings of woe regardless.
"Man, I stared at my phone for an hour wanting to call that girl, and when I finally pressed send, she fuckin' v-mailed my ass!"
"Dude, don't feel bad about v-mailing that punk. Now he's got a limited time to convince you to call his ass back."
