How would you fix email? If we had no idea what email was in 2016, how would we design it today?

I was looking at my Gmail inbox today and I have 10,395 unread emails and 40,449 total email in my inbox.

Most of it is spam and junk I haven't gotten around to deleting yet, but somewhere buried in there are attachments to emails I sent when I got married and when my kids were born pictures that have long been lost, and maybe other stuff I don't even remember that I want to keep but getting to it would mean sifting through 40,000+ email.

I used to be an email junkie, but these days I find myself checking my email once or twice a week. SMS, WhatsApp, facebook messenger are good for short personalized messages Email has been relatively unchanged since it was invented.

So, I was thinking if we had no idea what email was in2016, how would we design it today?
