It is also difficult to follow *threads* of conversation that are
severely time-delayed.

In addition, in order to not miss messages you really need to set up a
bouncer that is always on and keeps a unread messages even across an
unexpected reboot or logging out of your console/gui session.

Email is far superior for time-delayed threads of communication.  If
you're having problems with managing your email, it's your email
strategy that needs to change, not the use of email.
