In my opinion because e-mail is the electronic/internet implementation of the humans most natural and basic way of communicating: person says something to one or more people. People can reply. Easy to understand the concept for everybody even grandma!
Then again, Maybe not the most basic way of communicating: still no smelling interfaces available on computers! Or are there? That would surely decrease the popularity of e-mail!
