You are not the only one saying that email is not really working. Just
found this in the Grey Lady:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/10/business/gen-z-email.html

It's more on email in general but look at what is being complained of.
These are all security issues at root.

And the telephone, the telephone is also starting to become a nuisance. The
number of people I talk to by telephone is declining rapidly. I don't
answer it because most of the calls are spam.


Where did we get the idea that anyone in the world could interrupt us any
time of the day or night by ringing a bell in our house? Well it didn't
start out that way. In the original scheme of things, the bell woke up the
butler. Taking a call was servant's work.
