I understand her point-of-view, but I send maybe 3 or 4 emails to her per day. Low on supplies, equipment malfunction, anything I notice out of the norm that requires supervisor attention. The thing is 98% of these emails do not need a reply. I do not want her to email me back "Thank you, I ordered more!" I can't do anything with that information frankly. It would also be unprofessional for me to double her email volume from me by sending her follow ups on all of them when this is how we routinely communicate.

The particular email that she wanted to meet in her office was about a potential scheduling conflict I noticed on the posted schedule. Again, if she emailed back, "Got it, fixed." I really can't do anything with that. Personnel management and scheduling is not my job, and I do not know the training timeline she has in mind to keep her goals and her deadlines. Well, the schedule was not fixed, which caused a training delay, and when I was questioned I had the email printouts in hand, and that's when she gave me her bizarre response.

I am one of the most prolific and concise communicators on our team, and she knows if I followed up on every email I send, that would cause immense headaches for everyone. She just wanted to be right.
