We aren't using email for this, because we wanted a chat room. We aren't using Teamspeak because we don't want video conferencing. I've been running my own email server for going on 20 years now. [edit] To add to the above, I use the same Matrix server to chat in various Matrix, IRC and Gitter rooms, and also to host a couple of self-written bots which I use to control a few aspects of my life. Email isn't really a replacement for the things I use Matrix for.
