Intro
Weve finally got a proper release of LBP! WOO!

This time, instead of having different routes or choices to make, all stories are straight forward! BUT we are now presented with emails, this emails do not change the course of the game or endings, we just get different responses depending on what we choose (only worth getting them all if you are going for 100% achievements and since you are reading this guide i guess thats what you are aiming for).

Easiest s;g achievements in the series, and the routes are so short that if you autoskip everything youll finish them in less than 3 minutes.
 
Walkthrough
Tips:

Pressing the Skip button will fast forward through all conversations but stops right when you get a message.

When you get an email with different choices, you can pause and go to "Mail List" (only after beating said that route for the first time), the game will automatically jump straight to the date and character the mail is from, helps a lot too see which branch you are missing or where is convenient to save.

Once you are done with a branch of emails, go to the title screen, and load/start a route from the main menu, if you load up right after unlocking emails, youll lose your progress so far.

Choosing the first option for all the emails is a good way to make future unlocking less confusing.

For a better understanding of how the branches "work":
Like i mentioned before you will unlock the Mail List option once you finish a route for the first time, youll notice that some emails are grayed out, so what would you have to choose then? The red circles show the different options in an email, i.e in that faris email, there are 3 options to choose from, if you are missing the email with the title "Technically a cat" that means you have to choose option two in the email and then reply to an email with only 1 option, other emails have longer branches, so just be careful in choosing the right reply by using the Mail List option in the pause menu

Emails:
Route
Description
Okabe
Probably the most grindy route, youll have to repeat it maybe 5 times to unlock everything, keep checking the mail list option to make sure what to choose next
Daru
No Emails
Kurisu
No Emails
Suzuha
Emails only with 2 choices
Mr Braun
The very first part of emails (nae) have around 5 replies, so complete the route 2 or 3 times and reload the beginning to unlock all nae emails
Faris
Emails with 2 choices
Lukako
3 Emails, 2 different runs
Mayuri
The first email has 3 choices, almost at the very end okabes has 2 choices.
Moeka
Try making a save file when you get an email from Kurisu on 8/10 since its kinda extensive
Kyouma
No emails
Nae
Emails (2 iirc) at the very beginning with 2 choices

Remaining Achievements:
After finishing Naes route (and unlocking her remaining emails) go to the Tips List menu and choose "Unread", open all of them and youll unlock the last achievement

oh and if you are still missing one achievement, it might probably be the one that unlocks after finishing a route with an unread email. Just start any route and press auto skip until its over.

and thats it!

100%! 
 
 
Notes

I consider creating save files for each email a bit tedious, since the routes are too short and the game lets you know what are you missing, you can just rush after finishing your first run.

Also, i noticed that in some cases, some of the extra save files i created didnt let me choose a reply (bug i guess), so i just ended up replaying the route from the beginning and going for the chain im missing.

In the first story (Okabe), the first Faris message has 2 inverted emails (choosing option 2 unlocks email 3 and option 3 unlocks mail 2)

In just few occasions, you wont be able to open your phone right away (i.e alpaca commander scene), dont press skip, just continue normally with the conversation and keep pressing the phone button until it opens.

If you dont open an email 3 or 4 dialogues after getting it, it will lock itself by not letting you choose any option.
Conclusion
 Even if there wasnt too much information to share since almost all the achievements are pretty easy to figure out, i hope this guide helped in case you had any problems unlocking them. If you have any questions leave them down in the comments section below. Thanks!

Nvm, I just opened every single message at the end of the route and one turned out to be the key. Thank you very much for this guide!

There's a message in Moeka's route that's broken for me and does not appear between 8/9 and 8/10. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/eD6WgkY
Any solution for this?

I found what I was doing wrong, and I discovered a subtle change that happens when you always answer the first option in the mails.

When you get to the message of "confess .." if you don't read it, later Mayuri send an email asking "where are you?", but if you read it , it will be Kurisu who sent you that email. And if you answer that mail the chain is completed.

Thank you for taking the time to answer me and sorry for not realizing before what I was doing wrong.
I guess I didn't open the "confess ..." mail in my first run so i never considered that doing that would change the sender of the following message. :SG0_BestGirl::SG0_Sorry:

You are probably replying to the wrong chain of emails, thats why its locking you out. Btw, why cant you reply to the email? doesnt it get highlighted or wont it let you open the phone? If its the first one that means either you didnt start the route from the very beginning or you choose the "wrong" replies, and if the phone doesnt want to open, thats because the time window to open it its small so youll have to make sure you dont skip ANY conversation, also, iirc, in the moeka route, theres a long conversation before the game lets you use the phone, even a day passes till your able to ( i dont remember very well), maybe you should check that out. But its totally possible, the game isnt bugged out to not let you beat it 100% (since theres few people whom already completed it)

If I'm not wrong this is the section where I'm having problems:
(You will stop on a picture of a subway, keep pressing :circle until you can open your phone)
Open Email (its not the top letter but the next one)
Open Email and respond with only choice
I reach that part in the subway but I can't use the phone until Moeka meets Kurisu and Mayuri, and by this moment I can't reply the "Confess..." mail. :s

Already try that, but nothing work. I uninstall and install checking if that could work and nothing again, I finished everything else 33/35 achievements, the only mail that I can't get is that one. Oh well there goes my 100%.:SG0_Sorry::SG0_Sorry:
