A self-centred e-mail, which talks in detail about your weekend, your relationships or how you are feeling etc, the contents of which are likely to be irrelevant to its recipients or are written purely as a form of self-therapy. Can be ambigiously friendly or malicious - within a close-knit group me-mails may be written to alleviate feelings of status envy in the sender or to attempt to invoke those feelings in its recipients.
Hi guys, had a FANTASTIC weekend. It's going SO well with me and John - I just can't get enough of him! Don't want to pour cold wataer on it but I think he's going to propose soon!! I know I'm so lucky to have met him, and he's so rich too. We went to the most amazing restaurant on Saturday and then he drove me all the way down the coast just for afternoon tea. How lucky am I?! Can't believe it's Monday already though - still, only a few more days till the weekend!! Can't wait!!!! Janet x

Where you email yourself so that you can pick up documents at other computers.
"How are you going to get that work into school?"
"No worries. I'll just me-mail it to my school address."
"Me-mail" refers to an email sent, inadvertently, to oneself, instead of the intended recepient.
When I clicked "send" that missive went to me, instead of John, because I had inadvertently typed my own address in the "to" blank.

To send yourself email to another of your email address's
Crystal sent me-mail to her hotmail account.
Me-mail is impersonal bulk-mailed brags and boasts, electronic or otherwise, whose self-promotional nature glorifies the sender and irritates the recipient.
Example: "He's drowning me in me-mail. I know more about his job, promotions, relationships, holiday visits and vacation plans that I know about my own--and I'd just as soon not!"

In the age of telecommuting, an e-mail message sent either early in the morning, or late at night, with the subtle intent of revealing the fact that the sender was logged on and working at the time the message was sent, hidden within the context of a more "official" looking message.
(an example "notice me e-mail")

Hi all... I just wanted to let you all know that I have received most of your status reports, but that the deliverable deadline is fixed. Therefore, if you will not be able to make the deadline, please adjust your status report schedule to fit the deadline.
