To each their own I guess. I usually reply to any non-recruiter human who has taken the time to send me an email directly (not a list), even if it's just a one-line response. Especially if it's an old friend you've lost touch with.

I sincerely believe most people also would, but the problem is that outside of the workplace email has become mostly a marketing and notification channel.

Most non-tech people I know have hundreds, if not thousands of unread messages in their inboxes and will probably miss some unexpected ones.

That's me. I turn off as many notifications as I can yet somehow I still get too many.
