Another related possibility

Another possibility which occured to me while thinking
about Google API applications is to have an internet
scanner searching the Internet for phrases (Google
originally). 

The email address becomes  a phrase. 

The email messages become web pages that contain the
phrase. 

The inbox becomes the search results for the phrase.

When avoiding Google, several internet scanners can be
setup, so that one is not relying on a particular one.


Encryption is still possible.

Of course hijacked machines can also publish such
web-pages. 

There is a delay introduced since potentially the
whole internet is scanned before "inboxes" are
updated. The scanners can allow a different route for
looking at updated pages.

This setup might not work out but maybe something
similar may be interesting.

I've set up an inbox with the phrase 

"Eating therhubarb with a fork"

No spam so far :) First message took a week to
"deliver". googlealert.com sent me an email telling me
about the "new" message.

See you

Stephan
