I’d like to know how many internal emails (sent to the entire department or entire company) you get!
From the ’keep the kitchen clean’ reminder to the HR Quarterly newsletter – how many is it a day?
If these were gone, what impact would that have on your ability to manage your email?
If these were gone, what impact would that have on your ability to work well in the company – some of these emails tell you important stuff, right? Or wrong?

I think that this is not a yes/no answer. When used effectively, company mass emails can help. It’s when someone sends a mass email asking if anyone found a watch in the 3rd floor men’s bathroom that it hurts.
Having a very specific subject line can help employees decide how important those mass emails are, and requiring a specific password to send “to all” might not be a bad idea, either!
