Good Afternoon Payton;
The answer to the question 'How long is too long to reply to an email?' is 'Never'.
Never is much too long, but any period shorter than that, accompanied by a reasonable explanation will go a long way to assuage the annoyance the sender may have felt when it seemed as if he email had gone into the void.
But the awful truth is that most gentlemen who send off missives to you ladies know, in their heart of hearts, that they will be lucky to receive responses to 30% of their requests.
Thank you for reading

Hello everyone,
This is my first post and I can’t lie – I am terribly nervous! So, here I go …
How long is too long to reply to an email? Is there even such a thing as “too long”? I pose this question because there have been times when I’ve had email get lost in the shuffle. Not long ago I discovered an unopened email in my “Trash” folder sandwiched in between spam, spam and more spam! It was almost 2 months old!! I felt horrible but wasn’t sure what to do with it.
