eMails in .Hack//Mutation

Throughout .Hack your friends will send you chatty emails. These emails will boost their affection for you (check Ryu Book V) as well as providing a bit of world-building.

Some responses will cause the email chain to end, while others will get you another response.  Some responses require a certain level of affection, so don't worry if you don't get a response right away.  On that note, I wouldn't bother to spend time purposefully getting your teammates affection up; by the end of the game, if you get all the best weapons and don't overly neglect anyone, they should all be close to the 500 affection mark anyway.

If you do want to raise affection, then try giving them 1 Health Drink or a similar item which nets a mildly positive comment.  Each gift will get you +10 affection.  Unfortunately, you can't just give them 99 items in one go and get a huge affection boost - only +10 per gift.
