It's obviously a matter of opinion, not fact, as evidenced by the lack of universal agreement by fairly reasonable people. I think email is such amazing piles of steaming poo that my happiness is inversely proportional to the number/rate of emails I'm getting. It simply does not scale well. And like the phone, it too easily confuses importance and urgency. Setting up mail rules requires duplicative effort, for each user, even when they have very similar ideas on notification prioritization. It's ickysauce.
