I strongly disagree that the problem with email is clients. We simply get too much information sent to us via email. I don't want to have to filter my inbox--I want to receive just as much information that I need.
For example, my company sends me an email everyday telling me about company-sponsored social events. Often, the emails contain information they've already sent at least 5 times. Email is the wrong way to communicate this information. They should have a shared calendar or web page that lists this information. No email client UI can resolve poor information sharing practices.
