For private use, the number of my mails sent per year is going down tremendously, too:
2007: 300
2008: 810
2009: 910
2010: 480
2011: 450
2012: 440
2013: 310
2014: 290
2015: 230
2016: 150

Part of the communication definitely shifted to encrypted messenger services (Wire, Whatsapp, Threema), but as I don't think pressing some keyboard buttons and composing a private email is the best thing I can spend my time with, I'm now using the face-to-face time a bit more efficiently.

So, yes, I'd say email becoming less important, but not obsolete, since I receive several emails a day. This is why I'll too have to think about moving to a free email service or to stay with the paid (and very well working) FastMail, when my subscriptopn ends in 2019.
