Assigning tasks to teammates also can generate multiple emails to direct assignments to the proper employee and track completion of these assignments. Emails can often slip through the cracks or get deleted. Phone messages get misplaced or are difficult to access from the road.

Email is the killer application of the Internet.
It is also the killer application of management. Today business professionals interact with colleagues through email. They forward information, forward to-dos, initiate actions and respond to requests. Today professionals jump from computer to computer to check email. They use online tools, email readers and, increasingly, wireless devices.
