When people say that email is dead, it reminds me of the Yogi Berra saying that no one goes there anymore because it’s too crowded. It may be that kids have shifted to other forms of communication – IM, texting, Facebook, tweets, etc., but overall business use of email continues to rise. As kids grow up and start working, they will find that they, too spend a good chunk of their day reading and typing emails. The answer to email overload at work is not no email or switching to another medium, it is learning how to manage communication, and I think email is the likeliest platform for that. To stay relevant and lose its reputation as a time-consuming chore, email will need better management tools. With IMail Server, we aim to continue our history of leadership in making it easier and more efficient for end users and administrators to manage email.
Yes, email is indeed so yesterday. But as it evolves, it will also be so tomorrow.
