Blockchain distributed email service?

[mhossen]

A privacy friendly email service is long due. I'm a total noob in blockchain technology; my idea might look outright infeasible or there might already be such platforms.
Blockchain enables distributed storage solutions like SIA, storj; digital marketplace like LBRY and the list is becoming longer. Is it possible to create a distributed email service? https://protonmail.com, https://tutanota.com and https://mailbox.org, among a few others, claim to respect users' privacy. Still, distributed ecosystem is always more appealing.

Had this idea some time ago:

https://forum.lisk.io/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=95&sid=1c723a847ea0e824f5632df05ef02e49

Haven't thought about it for quite some time, but I still think this is a good idea. Doesn't have to be on Lisk, though. Ethereum might work as well, or maybe even sia?

Email is pretty much trust based. You can intergrade pgp into pretty much most email clients but in my opinion there is no reason to make emai systems distributed. Cryptography is enough.
