The entire notion of email is retro.
Instant messaging should be the future, conversations organized by individuals and groups. At present the most progress in this arena is with Matrix in my opinion. I don't see any advantage of clogging the lightning messaging layer with chit chat chatter.
Anonymous contacts should pay to send you a message, and it can all go into a single "bed pan" for you to fish out the turd you're looking for. Otherwise you simply add contacts who you want to be able to recieve free messages from, or set the contact message fee rate to nonzero for various reasons.
To bridge the gap during adoption, a web interface can be used allow email users to be directed by auto responder and let them pay to send a message with a simple lightning enabled form.
I would disagree, email is interoperable with all email, is there an IM that's interoperable with each other? Not that I am aware of, they are all walled gardens
reply
Matrix isn't a walled garden.
