I had to re-read this since it was a bit old. Anyway, there's taking some time to answer and then there's not answering at all. Which happens. At the end of the day, if you have a job to do and a lot of the work correspondence is via email, then having a full inbox is just part of the gig and figuring out how to get the job done is part of that too. Acknowledging that you received a message takes about as long as it takes to type "ACK" and press send. There's nothing wrong with letting people know you got their message, even if you can't respond in that moment.
