The prevailing messaging service in the internet has always been the electronic mail. Despite multiple potential competitors have emerged since it started in early 1970’s, e-mail still has the highest share among users. The properties of e-mail and their major competitors are briefly reviewed in order to understand current challenges for e-mail. There are unconfirmed expectations for e-mail to weaken its position primarily among young generations. Therefore, prospects for a future for messaging services (not exclusively e-mail) are presented by results of a small-scale poll among more than 200 messaging users in universities.
