supports
I love how, within 5 years, we've gone from calling it 'support', as in help, to 'supports', like trusses. This isn't what wrongly pluralizing 'email' got us, but it's the same mental defect. We'll be talking about 'the trafficks' next.

Email doesn't have any other word that refers to a singular instance though.
With snail mail, a singular piece of mail is called a letter.
With email, a singular piece of mail is called ... an email.
Thus it is reasonable that many such pieces of email would be pluralized as emails, much like we call many pieces of snail mail letters.
