Agreed: Would be awesome with a lightweight integrated messaging tool
for both push-style (i.e. email) and pull-style (i.e. Jabber).

I would call it a _different_ project than FreedomBox, to not clutter
the vision. Certainly a project highly interesting for this FreedomBox
to follow and potentially adopt the fruits of when production ready and
intgrated with Debian, but separate - like most of the marvellous ideas
on new inventions that have been raised here.
To me FreedomBox is not an invention, it is existing Freedoms in an
existing box. :-)
