So, with TestNet 2 on the brink of deployment polished within the next couple of weeks intuited from Jira;
I’m already seeing myself integrating things like chat and email on SAFE Network;
MPID Messaging system
=========
Design document 1.0
Introduction
============
In MaidSafe the ability for secured messaging is obvious and may take many forms, mail like, IM like etc. This document outlines the system componenets and design for general communications infrastructure and security.
Motivation
==========
The motivation for a messaging system is an obvious one, but a wider motivation is, as always in MaidSafe, a messaging system that is secure and private without the possibility of snooping tracking or being abused in any way. A large abuse of modern day digital communications is the ability for immoral entities such as spammers and the less than ethical marketing companies to flood the Internet with levels of unsolicited email to a level of circa 90%. This is a waste of good bandwidth and also a nuisance of significant proportions.
A MaidSafe messaging system will attempt to eradicate unwanted and intrusive communications. This would seem counter intuative to a network that purports to be more efficient, cheaper and faster than today's mechanisms. The flip side of this is the network's ability to work autonomously and follow pre-programmed rules. With such rules then the network can take care of people's inboxes and outboxes for incoming and outgoing mail respectively.
This design outlines a mechanism where the cost of messaging is with the sender as this would seem more natural. To achieve this, the sender will maintain messages in the network outbox until they are retrived by the recipient. If the email is unwanted the recipient simply does not retrieve the message. The sender will quickly fill their own outbox with undelivered mail and be forced to clean this up, themselves.
This paradigm shift will mean that the obligation to un-subscribe from mailing lists etc. is now with the owner of these lists. If people are not picking up mail, it is because they do not want it. So the sender has to do a better job. It is assumed this shift of responsibilities will lead to a better managed bandwidth solution and considerably less stress on the network and the users of the network.

So, we’ve all been there. We download an app and months later after forgetting even the name of this app, we continue to receive emails about the latest features or what they plan to release as features in our mailbox. When we get bored of individually deleting these emails(or worse the spam marketing you never cared abt), we see the ever illusive caption:
