Only receiving messages while online is a feature. Want to work async? Email.

  Except some people can be having a conversation while I'm offline. When I get back on, I can catch up or have someone link me to an important part of it. It's handy.

  In some teams, IM+history is the email killer that happened by the mistake.

  A feature to the small handful of people who still use IRC. Look around though. Everyone else expects basic features like being able to send someone a message even though that person went through a tunnel.

  I work with a bunch of people in oakland, where comcast flickers on and off like a light bulb during a wind storm in the 1920's. So the only way to have a quick chat is over email?
