Article lead
editChange '''Electronic mail''' ('''email''' or '''e-mail''') to '''email (short for "electronic mail", alternatively spelled "e-mail", I think that "email" should be listed first as it js the title of the article, most common name for the subject, and used throughout the article.

- Support. Whizz40 (talk) 21:19, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Done since there seems to be no objections, though I’ve capitalised it since it’s at the start of a sentence. novov talk edits 11:11, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Unfinished merge of Email system
editFrom a search through Email's revision history, it seems the merge of Email system was never completed. It is worth attempting, as email systems are a robust topic of study. Tule-hog (talk) 22:49, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Merge proposal
edit@JJelax: I propose merging Email apnea into Email#Issues due to the lack of notability, small size, and overlap. IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 02:22, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. I disagree with merging. The email article is about the technology while email apnea is about something comparable to sleep apnea. Email apnea is really about apnea while working or using a screen; the use of the word "email" in the name of the concept is an instance of synecdoche. We wouldn't merge butt dialing into buttocks.

- Just to clarify that Email apnea is a Phenomenon not a validated health condition like sleep apnea. The same argument could be made that “Email bankruptcy” isn’t related to email because it’s a type of fatigue. IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 21:34, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
