OK, I need a new word.
Here's the definition: when one's inbox is so full that by the time an email is answered the sender has not only forgotten they ever sent it, they have moved on in their life enough as to be no longer interested in the topic.
Maybe I need more than one word.
One for that situation. Another for the email response that no longer connects with reality. Another for the sort of emailer I am.
One more thing: if I am the only person with this problem, kindly keep that information to yourself.

its not a word, it is circumstantial social complex known as E-Temporal Dissociative Communication Syndrome.
What about "haackfu" as in the following classic poem:
No email for you.
Delete or be forgotten.
Haackfu cuts you off!
The condition of the inbox should be called INBOXIA OUTDATEDITIS.
The email sitting in it, and any sent in response should both be called STALE MAIL.
I'm gonna start using those words myself, now that they are coined.
Re:obsolescence
It took me weeks to think up that.
