My personal belief is that it's never a problem with email per se, but the tools you use for email. For example, project management and knowledge gathering sucks because we use Outlook, but personally I use GMail where a combination of tags, drafts, bookmarking and fantastic search makes it a great tool for everything that fails in Outlook. I reckon with a few tweaks to GMail (true tagging, your own defined controlled vocab, etc) it could be the ultimate communications killer app.
