# What to use for messaging and email

> Inbox, chat and calendar — Slack, Gmail, Outlook, iMessage. Repeatedly landed in `process-automation`, which describes the mechanism rather than the job.

Ranked by fit for the task, then how well it documents itself, then the tashan score
  (upkeep and freshness, gated by real adoption). Public evidence only — nothing paid can
  change a rank. Method: https://tashan.sh/methodology.html

## What these numbers are not

- The tashan score measures upkeep, freshness and adoption. It is **not** a security
  verdict and **not** a measure of whether the capability works well.
- `not scored` means too little public evidence to rank, never that something is bad.
- The security audit is separate and free per capability, on each page above.
