I hope the list is preserved.  Email has a standard interface that can
be automatically filtered (for example with notmuch), tagged and scored.
And it can be accessed with ethical and privacy respecting free
software.  Users should not have to neither lose their freedom nor give
usage data do Big Tech to get software support, especially for a libre
program.
