Why not just write it if you want it? You don't need a team of
developers, because all the hard stuff (crypto) has been done.
I was thinking of using a blockchain to claim addresses. Confidant Mail
currently has the problem that anyone can claim any email address, and
the sender must check the recipient's key ID or signature to make sure
he's talking to the right person. Why not use a blockchain like
distributed commit protocol to resolve which key owns what address? The
original owner would put out the first claim, and then the address
belongs to him until he signs it over to someone else, just like bitcoins.

IMAP and webmail makes it easy to access your mail on two or more
machines, and have all your folders stay in sync. Encryption tends to
break that: your inbox might work across machines, but your Sent Items
and personal folders tend to be stuck on one machine.
Confidant Mail 0.24 has a solution for that problem. You can have the
same GPG key on two or more machines. Using a secure replication
protocol, your sent items, read status of incoming mail, personal
folders, and deletions are all automatically copied to the other
machines. This provides an IMAP-like experience with encrypted mail.
Why not use different subkeys per-machine? Just remember to encrypt with all
subkeys. Also, GPG-enabled webmail, am I reading it correctly?..
I keep waiting for something interesting to happen that uses blockchains
and their private keys for storing, encrypting, distributing, and monetizing
messages.
Unfortunately, I supposed the most likely way this would get funded is through
a DARPA proposal, or some sort of government funding with the goal of
destabilizing other governments.
