Where email is heading

Have you heard about Google Wave? The new "real-time communication platform"

See http://mashable.com/2009/05/28/google-wave-guide/

If you think about it, email as we know it is based on the old model of postal communication in a real sense - you send something, someone replies - Google Wave will allow you to see what someone is writing in real time, it will be more like having a conversation than "mailing" something - impressive range of functionality including working on shared documents, dragging applications in, viewing versions.
