Beautiful and ironic that after the first paragraph, I automatically went into scan mode.

+1 on losing track of source and/or misfiling.
The fragmentation/multiple channels challenge is unmanageable if you assume that all mthods are equally important and require instant response. Fact is, I only read snail mail 2x/week, and there are several email filters that only get checked on rainy Friday afternoons. Sure it would be easier if all the streams converged into one, but until that happens (not in my lifetime) you have to prioritize and set expectations for response on the most common channels. 2 key questions to ask: what method is best to get your attention? and what method is best to get your action? Good answers to know for most people you work with on a regular basis.

The sad thing is fragmentation just keeps getting worse, and the power game makes it hard to standardize. You allude to that when you mention best ways to get attention and action.
The more power you broker, the more you can dictate a channel. The good news is that it's a bit easier to separate chatter vs. listen/act channels. That boundary gets more blurred all that time though as people move around and require your attention.
Someone should commoditize attention to make it more scarce and thus keep people's overflowing communication in check.
