WASHINGTON <\/p>\n
Clicking through a clogged inbox overflowing with spam and unanswered messages, it may begin to feel that email is more nuisance than help in these days of instant texts and Snapchats. <\/p>\n
Still, email remains a primary communications tool both for global business and personal matters. <\/p>\n
