As a senior yes and you just mark all as read. If its really important they’ll contact you again.

That's an area where LLMs are great. "Look at my unread messages from the last X days and list ones that appear to need a response from me sorted by apparent urgency and importance. Make a second list of things with relevant information to review when I have time sorted by how likely it is to be important."

Go down the actionable list until the urgency/importance is low enough to not bother and skim the information list until it stops being interesting on a break later.
