Thanks for your comments. Companies like Zimbra and PostPath have achieved some success in competing with MS Exchange. Why do you think building an email server like Exchange is too much of a technical challenge? Also, my idea is not to build yet another email delivery solution, you are right that problem is 99% solved. But an office worker receives literally thousands (counting mailing lists) of emails a day. Even with folders and rules, there is a lot of human effort required to sort through all this email. That seems like a real pain point to me.

I wasn't suggesting that it was a technical issue at all really. It would be a difficult task, but certainly not out of reach for many people I know, so I wouldn't suggest that it would be out of your reach either. The problem would be selling it. The issue with your second observation is that while it is true, the work is distributed, thus isn't a source of pain to the company - they entity you're trying to sell to. There are plenty of GTD tools out there, but this doesn't have anything to do with email.
