"What would you consider to be too much and unnecessary communication with your team?"
Any communication that doesn't potentially help your affiliates build their business is unnecessary. Make sure all your team newsletters contain useful information, and you are not repeating yourself every week. I think sending a newsletter to your entire team 2-4 times per month is enough.
Use your newsletters to encourage two-way communication from your affiliates. Ask questions. Run contests. Simply congratulating one or two affiliates in your newsletter can spark interest in other team members.
Communication on an individual level is different. If one of your affiliates contacts you, you should always respond in a timely manner. Answer the questions, help them learn the system, and get to know them a little.
Some people are more "open" than others when it comes to personal information. Some affiliates are comfortable sharing personal information, while others prefer to keep it strictly business. In either case, establish a personal relationship with your active affiliates.
It's imperative they know you are available if they have any questions. As long as the communication is two-way and the conversation is flowing, continue to answer their questions and get to know your active affiliates.
