To each his/her own. I'm the opposite. Anything via IM is treated as fleeting, and if I don't get to it now it's forgotten. I'm not going to keep track of dozens of channels. The benefit of email is its openness. I can organize it as I wish - I can't seem to do that with Teams (nor Slack, most likely). Can I copy a Slack message and put it into my personal channel? Can I tag it with a label, and then do a query to get all messages with a label? Can I make a TODO item in the TODO app of my choice and link to a message? I do all this with email. It's even easy. Also, Teams/Slack searching sucks. They're also resource hogs.
