There is no need to solve small issues ahead of meetings with e-mail, because the group will be getting together for the meeting and can take care of everything at that time.

While it may seem efficient to handle small issues ahead of time through e-mail, it's also important to consider the time and potential confusion that could arise from discussing the same issue multiple times. It's better to wait and tackle everything together during the meeting when everyone is present and able to contribute their thoughts and ideas.
