If there is some problem to be discussed using e-mail (or forums or other collaboration web-applications) can be very inefficient because of the response times.

Managing status for different groups can have unproductive side effects as you have to juggle with status setting. I prefer a single status which I also use to indicate power hour for myself and for my collegues. > Having maximum IM hours I do use IM in general only if really needed - so I use it only where it makes a real difference and is an advantage in the situation. There is also education/introduction needed to let your clients (especially those who often IM you) know in which cases you want to use IM and in what cases it should be avoided. They understand and so I do not have the problem that I get disturbed too much by IM. IM can be very efficient if you need important bi-directional communication.

> Having maximum IM hours

I do use IM in general only if really needed – so I use it only where it makes a real difference and is an advantage in the situation. There is also education/introduction needed to let your clients (especially those who often IM you) know in which cases you want to use IM and in what cases it should be avoided. They understand and so I do not have the problem that I get disturbed too much by IM.
