It has channels and topics. These work similarly to your use case of email. In

You can delete and keep specific messages.
Lack of threads are just replaced with channels.
You can trial it free for up to x users at no cost which was my suggestion but
I doubt that will work as it would seem people are already convinced it won’t
work for them.
How many here have used Slack as there is a lack of knowledge regarding the
features.
What features does it have the makes it worth my time in deviating away
from where I have most of my communications centralized?
I have yet to see anything that gives a MUST HAVE feature. Basically
because the email list format is not lacking anything that I need.
Why should I have to bring up an new website (or even worse a separate
client application) to keep up to date on what I automatically am kept
up to date with via this email list format?
So, the question is not "Does it have equivalent features of the mail
list?" The question is "Does it supply a feature that I require enough
to warrant the deviation?"
Since (at least for me), there are no new requirements from when the
email list was created, there is no reason to change.
Also, why go to a proprietary format, when the current open format
works? Why be dependent on the whims of a startup business to provide
additional features that are not even needed. (It really is geared for
work group collaboration, not PUBLIC mailing lists.)
Instead of the current centralizing of communications in the ubiquitous
email format, you are looking to move to a proprietary format accessed
via proprietary clients.
You are asking everyone to go elsewhere (other than their normal INBOX).
You really need a VERY good reason, other than "it's cool." You need
to provide that it satisfies a requirement that is currently not met.
