#42Text/IM really doesn't belong in the inbox in my opinion, because as others have stated these are in a different category of communication, with different urgency levels. IM and SMS are for when you need to get in touch instantly or near-instantly, email is for more asynchronous and/or one-way communication.
That said, IFTTT sounds like the perfect solution: https://ifttt.com
"If This Then That", or IFTTT, lets you trigger actions from events. So, if you get a Twitter mention, or an SMS, you could have it email it to you.

#44Do you need a unified inbox where you can read all the messages, or do you actually want to be able to search across all your inboxes (like you could with Greplin) or aggregate notifications that you received a new message (Chime)?
