In my country we have something called BankID. BankID, it’s Sweden’s leading electronic identification system, widely used for banking, e-government services, and secure logins. So I use it to login to the bank, check my taxes, hospital status, bookings etc. Basically the message itself is already on their website and never leaves them.
Buying something? Login to the website and see your order.
Delivery of something you bought and want to see when the packet arrives? You have an smartphone app for that. Like login to company app and view. You even get push notifications.
And for those people who actually get a message from a person instead of a company. You have chat, like Microsoft Teams, Slack, Discord etc. You even can have voice and video conference with the other person.
Chat is instant messaging and is not slow compared to email.
Account registration? Make use of OpenID. Or even better passkeys.
Bonus: In my country we have Kivra - government post. Any company can get it and send the normal letter in a digital format - basically the none printed version of the letter so a PDF.
