What are the biggest problems with email?

We are looking at replacing emails with something better. We think this can be done while keeping your email address as the identifier for you, necessary so we don't all have to send out new contact information before the system is useful. Alternatives like slack just add more distraction and they are tricky to use for conversations which aren't within one company. Some of the main problems we have with email are. - Loosing people on a thread because someone forgets to hit reply all. - Not easily being able to leave a thread because people keep replying from old emails. - Having to search a whole conversation to find the relevant piece of information, worse if you aren't really sure if the conversation has concluded or not. - Hard to format nicely. It would be great to hear what problems you have before we share too much the solutions we think would help make it better
