Email is indispensable in organisations because it automatically creates a comprehensive permanent record of all communications (and optimally, one which is searchable after the employee in question has left - keep your work and personal emails separate, people!) Searching old emails for information is a core part of my workflow and has saved my bacon more times than I can count.

(Further to this - I've made it standard practice to send an email after any important phone call, summarizing the conclusions of the phone call. That way both parties have a record of what I thought we decided, and if the other party doesn't disagree then their tacit acceptance is also recorded.)
