It is working a great deal better for me since I started using Google Inbox. I was just about to make the move to Fastmail and boom, Inbox arrived and threw me a curve ball.

In a couple of days I'm at inbox zero. Reminders and snooze are awesome, if not the killer feature. I'm using email like Evernote.

Assuming you're an Android user, maybe you actually needed something like Google Keep instead of email?

The right question is: do you still use Facebook, AIM, chat, etc, etc. Nope. Do I use email? Every single day.

I still use email, it is a core part of my workflow. I start my day trying to hit inbox 0, that works well. I vastly prefer email and other async methods of communication to anything else. That being said, I also use (because of people on my team):

- slack - Skype - text messages - phone calls - Facebook messenger

Depending on where you work, you might have a lot of emails or less emails. But zero emails is, from my perspective, impossible to achieve - as of today.

I can't imagine effective online communication without Email. I use email daily for work and school.

Who doesn't? Maybe a better question is - who doesn't use emails?

World cant work without emails. World wont die without emails.

is that a question ?

although instant messaging is excellent for fast communication, it's still hard to track around topics or "conversations".

Yep, it works pretty well where I work

I talk to zero people via email. Only time I use email is for verification/resets and receiving spam.
