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.

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.
