What is written and can if needed be printed out on a paper is what still most literate humankind consider reliable and official, since if needed you have physical proof, though that can be faked too, still its more reliable and official than other ways seem, since paper has been used in that way for ages. Like your legal documents, passport, birth certificate and so forth. In my personal view i would only consider IM reliable and official, if i would be logging the information, be that speech or text, though this is strictly speaking when concerned with business. Private matters are different. Here i already mostly use IM and other Tools, like (Google) Calendar. I think its simply fact that its very hard to abolish or change those interpretations that are linked to what is reliable and official or simply real. Insofar, disregarding all the spam i think email will still linger around. I liked the way you pointed out, that email is mainly used for identification throughout the internet these days.

Probably in the future, say a couple of years from today, we can forget email, but as of today email is the best tool for communication.
