I’m not an Outlook user, and I really dislike the product.
But I wish the feature that you can write say @joel to get someone’s attention in large email threads with too many on CC would have been adopted by more mail clients.

I have never seen one myself.
Surely there’s an RFC for that right?
The ostensible "problem" with this would probably be "email is too slow for real-time chat!" But really, how much difference does a few seconds make? And modern connections/tech make me think that idea might have to be reevaluated anyways.
It wouldn't be a business but I could see such an app becoming quite popular.
I'm happy to report that this already exists: https://delta.chat/
Indeed, there is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9078
It's used by Delta Chat (IM over email).
