Agreed. Something like Google's new Wave product / service, but well, better. It's currently a hunk of shit, IMHO.
I could see a new e-mail-type protocol being developed, which over the next 5 years slowly replaces e-mail itself though. Like you said, more conversational / thread based, with better organization of contacts. No more of this CC: bullshit. Sometimes you'll have five people involved in a conversation, all CCing each other. You leave for a few hours, and come back to 28 e-mails in your inbox, and it takes you 15 minutes to go through everyone to figure out what's going on. I think that type of thing will definitely change.
