Verb (present tense is email siege) The act of seemingly everyone under God's green earth emailing one email in a short period of time (to the max a week) and completely stuffing their inbox, often with useless junk mail.
Person A: Holy Crap!
Person B: What?
Person A: I was offline for like 2 days and I have 112 emails!
Person B: Enjoy being email sieged. It happened to me last week.

false bravado
When someone becomes "tough" and "combative" in an email, but never in person, or on the phone. A false show of digital power and might. A manifestation of their own sense of righteous indignation.

Email Muscles
Ninja 1 in an email format: "I asked you for that report last week you never responded, I'm losing confidence in you and your firm & will take my business else where."
Ninja 1 in a phone conversation: "Hey buddy, I know you have been busy, any chance of getting that report any time this week? No rush!"

Reviewing and answering fossil emails, senders of which have long lost any hope of getting a response. Usually done when bored to the extent of taking time to clean the inbox.
- Thank you.
- What's up bro? You answered an email from 3 years ago. Are you into email archaeology?
- Yeah, I got inspired by Jordan Peterson to make order in my bedroom, and went on to desktop icons and now the inbox.
- Put your mind in order first.

n. an efficient survey of three or more days worth of past emails in one sitting. This strategy is used to catch up on the important business that those emails may require. May be employed either by the busy or the lazy.
"I need to take a half-hour to do some email reconnaissance."
"What are you talking about?"
"Well, I've not been paying much attention to my email for a while, so I just need to get the lay of the land and find out if there are any land mines waiting for me in the form of uncompleted tasks or neglected personal friends. After that we can go to the game."
"Weird. Why didn't you just say that you were catching up on your email?"

An algorithm that determins the efficientcy of an email sent by one person to one or more recipients with no body text but just a subject line. AN efficient email will be no higher than 1000. This calculation is as follows
EMEF = ((SU + (REC*SU)) * .75)
Email Efficiency = Subject line count + (Number of recipients * subject line count)/ the percentage of people that read the email
EMEF = ((SU + (REC*SU)) * .75)
Email Efficiency = Subject line count + (Number of recipients * subject line count)/ the percentage of people that read the email
EMEF (Email Efficiency Quotient) = ((SU + (REC*SU)) * .75)
So for your subject line of approximately 50 characters sent to 33 recipients would be (50 + (33*50)) * .75 = 1275.
So for your subject line of approximately 50 characters sent to 33 recipients would be (50 + (33*50)) * .75 = 1275.
