Solution to this is to remember what the purpose of email actually is. It's supposed to be asynchronous communication, with the expectation that it may be checked, at most, 1-3 times daily. If you need communication immediately and in any location, instant messaging covers that use case much better.
- darklajid 11y agoWe have to disagree about the purpose here. For me mail is for async, coherent exchanges. IM is not a replacement: It is usually a conversation, usually short and short-lived and synchronous. Async doesn't have to imply that I don't get a notification about your mail. It just means that I probably won't answer right away - or at least on my time. Anyway: Mail plus ~instant~ notification is a thing for me and I don't want to give that up.
