The problem has more to do with typing skills and the time it takes to
write an email, more than spelling skills.
Although I never made more than a C grade in English and never have been
a great speller. What makes my spell skills look worse is my typing
ability.
I grew up in the era when men and boys that took typing were considered
sissy or or worse. Also at the time Computers were so large they took an
entire floor of a business and cost Gazillions of dollars (well
exagerating a little here) there was no concept of the "Home Computer"
in anyone's mind.
I have the unique ability to proofread something I've written at least
10 times and not discover a misspelling or gramatical errors.
Thus for the need for a spelling checker. So while you can write a piece
and send it with the guaranteed feeling of never mispelling something
ever, that you will be always 100% accurate, I can't.
