It would be nice to rsync to send/retrieve emails and manage my inbox. Maybe the original MSN concept needs to be revisited?

you mean like IMAP?
Yep, but it's another thing to install, and it's another thing to configure, right? If I had a json file that was my email configuration, and could use the `rsync` tool that comes with my *nix distribution, that would be a whole lot simpler.
