As luck would have it, this is precisely what Slack is selling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gone will be the days of asynchronous messages you can keep and organise in folders. In 2024, you will scroll through your chat history\u2019s endless LOLs and emojis to reassemble your conversations about the year\u2019s most important project and you will easily be able to get in touch with people once you\u2019ve asked them what Slack platform they\u2019re using, how to connect to it and how to contact them there\u2026 by email!? Oops, that doesn\u2019t sound right&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time such a prediction is made \u2013 you might remember, back in 2012, Atos\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/technology-16055310\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dramatic announcement<\/a> and its acquisitions aimed at eradicating corporate email and replacing it by\u2026 wait, what was it? \u2013 and it comes in the wake of a series of similar more or less realistic announcements over the last couple of decades claiming that email is a thing of the past \u2013 over, dead, kaput \u2013 always made by bringers of technologies that are \u201cabout to replace email\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What are these prophecies based on? Are they reliable? Who wants the demise of email and why? What\u2019s the situation in the real world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The suspects<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Predictions of the death of email aren\u2019t new. Applications such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aatcomment.org.uk\/run-your-business\/will-platforms-such-as-whatsapp-kill-off-email\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WhatsApp were supposed to kill off email<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialmediatoday.com\/content\/enterprise-social-networking-will-kill-business-email-heres-why\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Corporate social networks were supposed<\/a> to kill off email.

The Covid vaccine is the only thing that wasn\u2019t supposed to kill off email\u2026 only viruses!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s face it, as of today, none of these predictions has materialised. In reality, what can truly challenge the supremacy of email in business communications is face-to-face contact and, to a lesser extent, telephone communications. This is, for example, what Mittel France\u2019s \u201cproductivity at work and communication technologies\u201d survey <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itforbusiness.fr\/le-fort-impact-des-nouveaux-outils-de-communications-29024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">published in IT for Business in late 2019<\/a> shows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"615\" src=\"https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image1-1-1024x615.png\" alt=\"Mittel study on emails\" class=\"wp-image-3427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image1-1-1024x615.png 1024w, https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image1-1-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image1-1-150x90.png 150w, https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image1-1-768x461.png 768w, https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image1-1-1536x922.png 1536w, https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image1-1-1140x684.png 1140w, https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image1-1.png 1563w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Country-to-country differences<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It isn\u2019t too farfetched to think that the effect of the current health crisis might put videoconferencing on par with chat\/instant messaging, but on a scale still dwarfed by email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no email-free companies, even among <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/413507\/what-is-inbox-zero-and-how-can-you-achieve-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Inbox Zero<\/a> advocates.

While internal email exchanges can be limited by using other solutions, a steady flow of emails continue to come in from outside the company, forcing employees to juggle between tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each new communication technology seems to foreshadow the demise of good old email without it ever coming about. So why does everyone seem to want the death of email?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The motive<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s face it, email isn\u2019t blameless. You could even say it has its fair share of faults. Depending on the source you look at, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arobase.org\/actu\/chiffres-email.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">55%<\/a> to 95% of email is spam! This is an enormous source of pollution \u2013 as we saw in a past \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/fr\/numerique-et-changement-climatique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">article<\/a> \u2013 and the global volume of email <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/255080\/number-of-e-mail-users-worldwide\/#:~:text=In 2020%2C the number of,4.6 billion users in 2025.&amp;text=In 2020%2C approximately 306 billion,daily e-mails in 2025.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increases by about 4.5%<\/a> every year. Emails also pollute our attention. The constant flow of pointless incoming messages is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silicon.fr\/email-bureau-stress-productivite-uk-france-135285.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">productivity killer<\/a> in the workplace (just like constant chat notifications, in fact\u2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet, at trial, it emerges that email isn\u2019t the culprit: poor use of it is. Spreading spam, using email as a DMS, multiplying the number of recipients unnecessarily, repeatedly sending large attachments rather that sending them as links <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/spx2tXGuidM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">via a server<\/a> as BlueMind allows\u2026 That\u2019s what the crime is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get 2021 off to a good start, we <a href=\"https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/fr\/2021-les-bonnes-resolutions-pour-votre-messagerie\/\">shar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/fr\/2021-les-bonnes-resolutions-pour-votre-messagerie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">e<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/fr\/2021-les-bonnes-resolutions-pour-votre-messagerie\/\">d a number of new year email resolution<\/a>s you can apply to avoid its pitfalls. Training users to good email practice could go a long way in significantly reducing its negative impacts. In any case, one wonders what could, in an email-free world, save whatever new tool replaced it from having similar shortcomings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We should also note that with more than 4.1 billion accounts worldwide in 2021, email is a magnet for cybercriminals from all walks of life. Business emails are a point of entry into a company\u2019s population and data (contracts, invoices, confidential information, etc.) and therefore are prime targets for ever-more sophisticated <a href=\"https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/fr\/email-menaces-et-nuisances\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cyberattacks<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the internet like anywhere else, the opportunity makes the thief. It is precisely because it is organisations\u2019 primary communications tools and main point of entry that email comes under attack. It is also because O365 is a market leader that it is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/microsoft-office-365-still-the-top-target-among-phishing-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prime target<\/a>. If email were to disappear, the cyberattacks it carries with it would go down proportionately\u2026 and move over to the new player in town: corporate social network, instant messaging, etc. You name it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/crime-scene-tape-1507015131gs9-1024x251.png\" alt=\"Email's crime scene\" class=\"wp-image-3389\" width=\"679\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/crime-scene-tape-1507015131gs9-1024x251.png 1024w, https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/crime-scene-tape-1507015131gs9-300x73.png 300w, https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/crime-scene-tape-1507015131gs9-150x37.png 150w, https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/crime-scene-tape-1507015131gs9-768x188.png 768w, https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/crime-scene-tape-1507015131gs9-1536x376.png 1536w, https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/crime-scene-tape-1507015131gs9-1140x279.png 1140w, https:\/\/bluemind.purpl-web.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/crime-scene-tape-1507015131gs9.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The crime scene<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Email is so deeply embedded into our professional lives that we sometimes forget the key role it plays, and it\u2019s easier to imagine it going away altogether. But to log into all these applications that herald the demise of email, you will need\u2026 access to email. We use it to identify ourselves in every part of our digital life, both personal and professional. Everyone has an email address, but not everyone has a social network account or a chat application which, incidentally, all live in parallel universes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cross-platform compatibility does not \u2013 and probably will not ever \u2013 be included in their roadmap. Direct messaging someone on Twitter does not trigger a Facebook alert or a Slack notification. All, however, send out email notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also use email as a reminder application. Our inbox is the recipient of events or appointments, recovered passwords, notifications \u2013 even from other applications such as instant messaging or social network applications. And email is multi-everything: multi-platform, multi-device, etc. You can read your emails on your desktop in Paris just as well as on your smartwatch while on holidays in Cancun. All you need is an internet connection to have full access to your email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your email address is printed on our business card, of course \u2013 this piece of information is just as important to your contacts as your name, the name of your company or your phone number. Typing your ID into a social network or a chat or videoconferencing application is all well and good\u2026 unless the person you want to contact isn\u2019t a user of that tool or in the same space as yours. Email is universal. It goes beyond platforms and suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, the icing on the cake: emails can also have legal value \u2013 what is written in an email can be legally binding. This isn\u2019t the case for other applications yet, although this could change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To announce the death of email presupposes that everything we use it for could become obsolete within a few years to the benefit of other tools that fail to fulfil all its advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The verdict<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might have guessed it, to us at BlueMind, announcing the death of email is akin to announcing that Coke is going to replace water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What this really is, is an attempt to portray email as \u201cantiquated\u201d in an effort to show a more recent solution under a glowing light, with the promise that it is \u201cinnovative\u201d or \u201cdisruptive\u201d \u2013 i.e. using any possible buzzword to make up for the lack of valid arguments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This overlooks the key aspects of email, what makes it unique and ubiquitous \u2013 a single, universal beacon, compatible with everything everywhere, easy for all, worry free and decentralised (i.e. not subject to a certain will or rules and above all not proprietary to a single organisation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a matter of fact, ALL other solutions use email. These are very same solutions that aspire to replace it as a means to send information and notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, email is \u2013 along with face-to-face communications or the telephone \u2013 one of the three universal pillars of communication and by far the number one tool for external communications, and it is growing steadily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like any other general-purpose medium, it lacks structure and should not be used beyond its intended scope. It should (and must) then be complemented by other ad-hoc media and tools to respond to specific needs (live chat, group or topic discussions, knowledge or project management, data sharing, projects, support, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The issue isn\u2019t about replacing email \u2013 this would be aiming at the wrong target \u2013 but how to use it properly and interface or complement it with other management tools to meet specific purposes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You shouldn\u2019t announce the murder of the innocent hand that feeds you, it\u2019s unwise!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The death of email has been announced dozens of times in the last few years.\u00a0But who wants it dead?
