Thank you Nona The Brit.
Doesn't it resemble like the following sentences ?
(1) Someone is knocking on the door, please get it.
(2) The phone is ringing, would you get it?
Please help me.

No. In these cases the person physically takes an action that directly connects them to the person knocking/ringing. Here 'get' means 'open the door' or 'pick up the phone'.
You don't 'get' an enquiry, whether it is by email, letter, or on a forum. You are not directly responding to that person, live.
