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!

Ben: "Corey, did you get my e-mail last Monday?"
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 selective e-mailmug. by Hercolena Oliver July 10, 2010
Get the mail genitalsmug. The glue on envelopes and stamps, which must be moistened to become sticky. Most people will moisten it by licking the envelope or the stamp, and will find that mail polish has a very distinctive flavor.
Dude, I just can't get enough of the taste of mail polish. I could lick envelopes and stamps all day.

Get the mail manipulatormug. When someone sends you a Mail (over text or in person), it means they joined the KKK and are now asking to be called a Knight.
