It really does depend. I get caught up in life, a lot. I'll receive an email from someone I know and I'm about to reply to it, something offline will need my attention and I'll come away thinking to myself, "I'll answer that later on when I'm able to", I come back online to find several other emails waiting for me to read and I'll do so, completely forgetting about the initial one I was supposed to have replied to earlier in the day. I'm human, sometimes I overlook emails and I genuinely do appreciate a prompter from someone I haven't replied to after a few days. As with anyone else, I loathe it when I have taken the time to reply to someone (very rarely a one-liner and usually a thoughtfully constructed and detailed reply) it irks the crap out of me if I then do not receive the courtesy of a reply from them, but then, they are likely thinking the same of me! Life happens. If you have sent an email to someone you haven't spoken with previously and receive no answer after a few days, move on. It's unlikely you'll receive a reply and a follow up prompter is unnecessary.
