Think that depends on what type of emails he's receiving. If it was only business then I'd agree with you, but I don't have the time to address 30 personal emai

  Then don't answer. It is as simple as that. Not every email requires and answer. I think 'compulsive answering' is a huge problem with people that have an 'email backlog', they see that not only as email they need to read, but also as if every email requires an answer, and really, not every email does. If someone asks you questions or mails you a business proposal then yes, an answer is required. But if someone tells you they had a great time somewhere or tells you they are going out for lunch today and won't be in the office between 12 and 2 that does not require an answer. Even plenty of personal email does not require an answer.
