Why does everyone think you need to reply to a work email within 5 minutes?

I used to stress about it constantly, but my boss in Chicago actually told me to batch my replies twice a day. Has anyone else's company made a rule about this?

My inbox is a graveyard of my own "just checking in" emails.

Try telling that to my inbox full of "per my last email" follow-ups.

My friend's boss sends those and it drives him nuts.
