I just use "mail". email vs. postal mail or physical mail when it needs further disambiguation.

  Agreed, it would save a lot of keystrokes if we just call it mail :)

  The problem with that is that "email" is an actual word in other languages. In Portuguese, "email" is email, but "mail" means nothing so I guess "email" is a better "global" option...

    In German "Email" means enamel, so the blessed spelling is E-Mail.

      Same in Romanian (and probably many other European languages), but it's never confusing due to the huge difference in usage frequency, context, and obviously different pronunciation.
