The real reason email has problems is that it intermingles messages from real human beings and ones from computers, in a way that Facebook messenger and Twitter to a lesser extent do not.

It’s a little puzzling to me why Gmail does not simply separate machine generated from human originated email.



This is what their Promotions tab intends to do.


I've had fewer and fewer emails end up in Promotions. Apparently the initial settings were far too effective, so they had to be turned down in order for promotional emails to actually see eyeballs.
