Not OP, but for personal email I've noticed the utility of email has gone down and down for me the past few years. I've got more spam/junk, 90% of my other traffic is automated bills and newsletters I get, etc, and an ever dwindling amount of friends keeping in touch via email. There seemed to be a progression from email->fb->whatsapp,snap,IG,etc-> .....?/i'm too old to keep up with the lastest communication these days. Most of my social convos have regressed 15 yrs and are again mostly just texting, even for photo sharing....

Now email in professional life is a different story, and is 100% mandatory, but that's all in the enterprisy outlook world...

WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. The only personal emails I receive nowadays are from my parents, and people travelling abroad without reliable internet connections.

Work is mostly slack, personal life is mostly text messages
