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.

That you despise mail is no reason to remove the MTA when applications 
actually rely on an existing MTA. You can not generalize your way of 
doing things to the entire community. The mail mechanics is there for a 
reason, and has proven its validity for decades.
