Email isn't always considered legal while faxes are, so if I need it for legal purposes I do use the fax. I can think of about 10 times that I've used it in the past 3 months.
When I bought my new house I ended up receiving e-mails from the realtor but that turned out to be a fiasco. Wells Fargo was selling their forclosure properties through a 'servicer' who was selling the properties through a realtor who ended up having to deal with my buyer's realtor. Wells Fargo refused to send any hard copies - ever. They prefered to fax the papers to their servicer who turned the FAXES into PDF and sent them to their realtor, who sent them to the buyers realtor by fax again. In the end we could barely make out any words on the papers. Finally we did get copies of the original faxed papers to sign. A real circus. I ended up checking with the BBB and found that this servicer has had 2 other compliants of the same kind of business dealings in the past 5 years.
My policy is - Fax when you have to, Email when it's convenient and always back up with hard copies when it needs to be legal.
