Email does indeed require discipline. Poorly phrased messages, inconsistent quoting, too many recipients are all bad.
Checking email too often is a productivity killing habit.
However, the worst, most common, problem with email is disorganization. It takes a great deal of effort to organize received emails so they are appropriately handled.
I do not miss the days where I’d spend an hour every weekend filing my inbox.

I can’t count how often I have seen some ‘urgent production’ issue email thread with like fifty people and fifty emails and the stupid answer was in the logs in the very first email all along.
