What is the plural of "e-mail"?

Sorry if this has been asked before (can't find it), but my boss and I are having a debate about this. A web search on this topic is inconclusive.

He's decided that the email (or e-mail--that's another subject!) is a collective noun, so the plural is email. There's some support for that, but I personally think it's confusing. I think emails is better--what do you think?
