I would think over the years many of us have used various free email accounts, to name a few, years ago, rockmail and hotmail, in recent years, yahoo mail, and most recently gmail, aside from desktop-based email like Outlook, then who knows in three years or so, what new email system would come up. Very few of them has interoperability, probably rockmail was bought by yahoo, hence, its email were automatically transfered to yahoo account or something like that (memory is getting 'rusty'). The point I'm making is, if I can switch to another email system now or tomorrow and bring all my emails from one or more email systems, I would feel so much better for maybe some tiny gem among tons of junk email would still be around... Having said that, commericial interest would probably stand in the way of standardization, actually email system using XML as its data platform would probably work (just off my head), am I the only idiot thinking of this?
