It seems like what you and your team really need is 'like' a Sharepoint / Dropbox for Emails where anyone (if permissions are set) can read through email content and project progression highlighted in email communication.
I recently put together a hack introducing Hashtags for Email. The idea is you hashtag important emails (in your case, most to all emails). Ex: "This Tuesday, I giving a #Project_A demo on #storage strategy at #Boxcon." This creates hashtag threads #Project_A, #storage, and #Boxcon. Non-storage team members can be invited to the thread read through the email discussion.
This stems from activity done personally, saving important content - Evernote for Email. In a team environment, email can be distributed - Sharepoint for Email.

Granted, there are differences in your team's implementation vs. hashtagging contents. i.e. email client agnostic
- kamens 13y agoInteresting idea. May poke around w/ this.
- robbiemitchell 13y agoFor those who want to go super radically transparent: create one single Group everyone in the org is a member of. CC it on every non-private email. Org members create a filter that puts the email away if they are not a direct recipient. To follow along, search by hashtag (or anything else).
