This post seems a little off. I agree that the fundamental concept's not broken, but why link to the error message problem? He talks about technical shortcomings of email but then just launches into saying that it's not todos?
So what about the technical problems? The crappy security, the poor error messages, that the senders email gets dumped straight to spam without any notification? What about crappy email threading that requires people to send the entire post back in the reply? That if a normal person wants to send emails themselves it's a colossal undertaking that's better farmed out?
Say it's not a todo app, sure. But don't pretend that there's not any problems with it.
