You have a point about the low volume at 30/day. I've had 100+ emails a day in the past for long periods so I understand how bad it can get once things pile up.

You have a point about the low volume at 30/day. I've had 100+ emails a day in the past for long periods so I understand how bad it can get once things pile up. President of our company gets 100+ emails a day and could surely use some help. I've met quite a few good administrative assistants and they are aware of how trustworthy and reliable they have to be. They can just glance over an email body and if it sounds really personal, put it into the "personal" bucket. They can also reply to emails that just need a "Thanks" and forward other emails to appropriate people as necessary. If they take notes, they can describe all their activities to the mailbox owner in a few minutes. I'm just saying as good as computers/apps have become, a second set of eyes and hands can still make a busy CEO's life easier.
