I don't really buy into this.

I don't really buy into this. Largely, email is a product that works pretty well out of the box. Filling in 2 forms can pull in gmail to a Mac or iOS device. Spam filters knock out spam pretty easily, which would likely need to be configured by the user anyway. Haven't really had a serious pain point with e-mail. I like technology so I would be willing to try this out, but to really get high adoption they would have to provide like a 10x improvement over traditional email, and clients. I frankly don't think this is possible. Also, email is largely free, so if you are not offering a crypto product, I can't see a business case for this. People already have completely simple and free email.
