Facebook didn't fix email with its Facebook 'mail', it did it with wall posts, comment conversations, and events.

This.

My experience with non-geeky friends is that they check facebook for messages and interact with friend/family through comments and wall-posts. Some of them get email notifications for these things but they use them as a prompt to go to facebook.com to view and respond. Email is the medium but not the message.
