What is Me-mail?
1.
A self-centred e-mail, which talks in detail about your weekend, your relationships or how you are feeling etc, the contents of which are likely to be irrelevant to its recipients or are written purely as a form of self-therapy. Can be ambigiously friendly or malicious - within a close-knit group me-mails may be written to alleviate feelings of status envy in the sender or to attempt to invoke those feelings in its recipients.
Hi guys, had a FANTASTIC weekend. It's going SO well with me and John - I just can't get enough of him! Don't want to pour cold wataer on it but I think he's going to propose soon!! I know I'm so lucky to have met him, and he's so rich too. We went to the most amazing restaurant on Saturday and then he drove me all the way down the coast just for afternoon tea. How lucky am I?! Can't believe it's Monday already though - still, only a few more days till the weekend!! Can't wait!!!! Janet x

Me-mail is impersonal bulk-mailed brags and boasts, electronic or otherwise, whose self-promotional nature glorifies the sender and irritates the recipient.
Example: "He's drowning me in me-mail. I know more about his job, promotions, relationships, holiday visits and vacation plans that I know about my own--and I'd just as soon not!"

Any email sent from a work email address to anyone in a supervisory capacity long before or long after hours of operation. These emails are usually fluff; noting completion of some project or task that was either assigned or not (depending on the level of ass-kissing required) for the sole purpose of stroking one's ego and making one's 'extra effort' noticed by supervisors and executives.
1) Last night our manager got a me-mail from John. It was sent at 10:00pm and it didn't have any relevant content. He only sent it to show that he stayed at work so late.
2) John sent a me-mail to the Executive Office at 4:30am just so they would know how "hard" he works.

"Me-mail" refers to an email sent, inadvertently, to oneself, instead of the intended recepient.
When I clicked "send" that missive went to me, instead of John, because I had inadvertently typed my own address in the "to" blank.
