Adding names of people with increasing levels of power in an organization to the CC line on an email on each reply, thereby upping the “ante” of the email’s audience. This generally results in an email that should only be between 2 or 3 people having a CC line with 20 names on it and 87 replies.
Joe didn't like Mary's reply to his email, so he started a round of "Email Poker" by CCing her boss. “I’ll see your project manager and raise you a vice president.”

A deluge of emails received from a listserv that is mistakenly set to "reflector" mode, making every reply go to all the thousands of people on the email list! Most of the messages in the email storm say things like, "Remove me from this list" or "Why am I getting all these emails?" The email storm is worst when it happen on a weekend or holiday when the email administrator is unavailable to stop the problem, such as the Veterans Day 2009 (11/11/2009) email storm by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary afflicting all the thousands of Coast Guard Auxiliary members in District 1 SR.
> Why am I still getting all these emails?
> Remove me from this list
> Stop hitting REPLY, because it's going to everyone!
> So you do not want us to reply to any emails from this address?
> No! Stop hitting reply!
> Don't you realize you are exacerbating the problem?
> Unsubscribe
> Hey morons, stop saying "unsubscribe" because it's going to everyone! You've created an email storm!
> Take me off this list
> I am currently out of the office...
> Hey, why are you sending out of office messages to me? Take me off the list!
> Stop hitting reply.
> You first!

A "nine of emails" is the collective noun for when you recieve an annoying number of emails (not necessarily nine) from the one person whining about a particular topic. It originated on a bulletin board called "toys in the attic" when a poster called "Coach" who is prone to exageration would claim "I have recieved not one, not two, but nine, repeat nine, emails" whenever he wanted to make people think he had alot of support for his bullshit opinions. From there it became the standard joke when someone would whine to the webmaster about some bullshit.
"how many many emails did you recieve? not one, not two but nine?"
"a nine of emails have flooded in from some whining asshole"

Not wanting to write even one email, as such an act would necessitate tackling, or even thinking about, all the other emails stacked up in your Inbox. Occasionally shortened to albatross.
...sorry I haven't been in touch but I've been suffering from a major case of email albatross...

One who has a difficult time placing emails in the deleted file and an even harder time emptying the deleted file because of the finality of the action. They are afraid they may someday need one of those emails (although they never will)
At the time of this posting, I have exatly 6000 emails contained in my inbox. I am an email packrat!
