The general point is that you can't just bring them into the court room without first disclosing them.
Here is some very recent case law (read the reflex on this case law too) on "emails".
Fielding v. Fielding, 2013 ONSC 1953 (CanLII)
Date: 2013-04-03
Docket: FS-12-00375231
URL: CanLII - 2013 ONSC 1953 (CanLII)
Citation: Fielding v. Fielding, 2013 ONSC 1953 (CanLII)

You can't blind side the other party last minute or present them late. That is know as "sharp practice" and/or "trial by ambush". Justices don't like when litigants do this. They especially don't like it when lawyers do late service and then admit to it. The really don't like it when they admit to this as a "trusim" (strategy) in how they conduct their business before the Superior Court.
Key point to focus on is why would you present so much email. Your better to pick out 10-15 key ones that demonstrate a pattern, request them to be admitted and work from there. No justice (see above case law) is going to sit through all the emails.
Good Luck!
