EmailFS (email file system)

The idea comes from "gmailfs" an online storage file system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GmailFS

How can it be done better?

Even though the gmail accounts are free, google limits the amount of traffic sent/received to an email account. So, if the load can spread out into multiple free email providers: hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc. the service becomes not only more usable as an online file storage, but also more reliable and faster as well.

Also, an online interface will ensure easy access from anywhere.

The only API to communicate with gmail is python's libgmail:

http://libgmail.sourceforge.net/

As a smaller subset of the project: handle small files and 1 email account per user, so interface will be extanding from gmail's interface.
