Email is probably the most important tool computers and networks have brought it. The protocols for using are still evolving, so it is worth a little thought. Does email replace the post or the phone? What are the right things to send by email? Where should you store your email? This week we take up these things, as well as expanding on the email tool as a notebook or to do list.

Email may very well be the most constructive tool since the industrial age.

However, like any sharp knife that can cut in more directions than one, I guess the question would need to encompass how its actually used.

As an aside, the most productive people in many of the offices that I work in, are those that won’t open email until near the end of the work day.

This is quite frustrating if there is an urgent message that they need to respond to right away, however, its hard to fault their focus and their office productivity is sometimes a magnitude higher than their work buddies.

I think that cultural differences are a huge issue in the way that we view email as a communication medium, we have offices in both US and india and we find that altough the spoken word allows the information to be referenced and re read it is still often challenging dealing with cross cultural meanings and interpretations
