I put text in a box. I click a button. That text is transported to people across the globe. Fucking people need to get over some UI shit.

I preferred it when I could do:

THIS

With only 1 button click.

And that it doesn't appear like '>'

And that my inbox state is the same on my windows box, linux box, vm's, laptop, school/uni/office computer, grandmother's weird laptop, ancient Mac boxes and my phone.

Hasn't been bad not having a single outage since forever either.

I tried setting up a mail_server_ once. That was fun. Haha. I'm even likely to get spamfiltered when I send something. Great!

So, do I want to deal with the idiots at my ISP? Nah. Do I want to deal with Google, which offer imap, pop3, whatever and webmail and also everything I could wish for? Kinda!

I think we need to have an alternative to e-mail that takes the bullocks out of it, and makes it properly distributed somehow. And then somehow migrate everyone. Maybe make some servers-that-are-also-bridges-to-the-evil-world-of-email.

If anybody is ever interested in the software I propose, e-mail me and we can work on it. (the irony of discussing alternatives to e-mail over e-mail)

And regarding blackhatting all nooblet users, yeah I kinda think that's actually a fairly legitimate argument. If only things went bad all the time people would care more about security. Simplistic worldviews. If only they were ever real.
