Email or Emails?

Here is another lesson in English. A coworker of mine today asked me “did you get my emails?” I corrected them by saying “You mean email?”

When you ask if the postman delivered the mail, you don’t use the word mails. The word mail is never plural. So why is email so often used in the plural form?

I just think email sounds better.  Now I wonder, should the word be hyphenated? E-mail?

What Do You Think?
