It's a good idea - but I am surprised it is not marketed for little kids too. I have the reverse problem - the grandparents (who get by on gmail) are demanding that my 2 year old (!) have her own email address to send her pictures and so on (she can't read!). Right now I am fobbing them off with an alias that forwards to my own email so I can screen it, but I can see that a service like this would work really well for that. There are some services geared to "kid e-mail", so I don't think it is a bad idea to target seniors as a first step, but this seems to me to also be an excellent solution to the kid problem. Kids don't need anywhere the eye candy that gets thrown at them - they just need clear consistent workflow.
