There are several experiments out there currently which promote that the solution to email problems is to quit it totally.

And of course offering a simple solution about how to get email in line.

My conclusion is that Email still has it’s place in most of todays corporate communication – both organizational and inter-organizational. Along with the fact that it is more valuable and beneficial to educate the organization members and people around you about how to use email efficiently thus cutting down hassle of communication.

Really looking forward to some interesting discussion,
