I think you're doing a bit of a dance around the ridiculousness of Shiva's claims. The handful of elements (inbox, outbox, Drafts, Subject, Cc:, Bcc: etc) to which you refer as UX were obviously and intuitively derived from the existing paper office mail systems of the day. These were completely obvious UX targets for any computer system that sought to emulate office mail, and I've seen no evidence that Shiva's EMAIL system influenced the evolution of the system we now know as email in any way.
