How to integrate email and instant messenger for team work
Most of the tools for working communication somehow support e-mail. It is difficult to find a service in which there will be no email notifications about new and unread messages, the developers of some similar projects go even further and introduce the ability to respond to such newsletters (some even with attached files - Fleep , Glip , Kato ).
However, there is still no service that would return the era of Outlook and Blackberry (that is, approximately 2004). Then people sent hundreds of short emails that are similar to current chat messages. As a rule, there were few recipients of such messages - several closest colleagues. Blackberry allowed people to stay connected even on the go.

Perhaps the fact that this era is gone, there is nothing wrong, but there are still people who use email as a chat.
The good news is that there is a service that allows you to create a “bridge” between the rooms in messengers used by all progressive humanity and the inbox for those people who got stuck in 2004.
Sameroom can create Portals - if email lovers send a link to such a Portal (that is, access to the room of your messenger), then when they click on it, they will see an offer to connect to the conversation via email:
After such a user completes the process of confirming an email address (a very simple process, in fact), he will start receiving messages to his inbox, forwarded from the connected room. The subject of such email-messages will be the room in the messenger from which they were sent.
Thanks to this, most modern email clients can easily display a conversation in the form of a thread of mail correspondence.
In order to send messages to the chat room, the user will only need to answer the email - it will be sent to all the rooms connected to the portal (sending usually takes 5-10 seconds).
You can also use email adapter functionality for other purposes — for example, you can link any meaningful chat room to your email account so you don’t miss anything important.
Using Sameroom, you can not only forward messages from the chat to third-party users by email, but it is also convenient to mark those that should be returned later - if the integration of the messenger and email is activated, then you can simply mark the necessary letters (for example, as unread) mail client.
