mourning

This is a sense of grief or loss, usually over the deceased.

emails

This is a conjugated verb. Like ‘traffic’, the noun should NEVER get an S; no matter how much Felicia says, for the same reason ‘cattles’ is wrong.

Learn to spell when you’re going to ink it in. Respect the medium and its lack of an ‘undo’ feature.

If most people use it that way it is the standard. There is no wrong or right in language. Only an aggreed upon standard in a specific group. When studying english linguistics that was one of the very early lessons. And if you like prescriptivism: I had a look at what Merriam Webster had to say and they have an example for emails as a plural.
