Email is fine, but too easely forged.

So is paper. It's a heck of a lot easier to forge paper than email
stored on a third party's mail server (especially in terms of rewriting
history since you can't re-write logs)

The difference is that email can include digital signatures and other
electronic audit trails that can be made to be difficult to forge (or
would at least require a third party's participation to forge)

There are protections on paper mail as well. Watermarked paper,
seals, etc.
