    there was a dev here on devRant who wrote a ms Outlook plugin in order to automate and prioritize his emails. The important ones would be sent to his slack chat.

    Handle email, Slack, etc at specific moments, like at the start of the day, after lunch and at the end of the day.

    Tell people they can use a specific channel for emergencies (an email with special keyword in the subject, a specific unmuted Slack channel), and revoke that right from abusers.
