I'm moving to zambia for the winter to start an after-school program doing basic computer and internet literacy skills with kids. It has been really fascinating watching all of the tools and projects that have popped up over the past f

I think you can still blame them. They're a corporation with a 470B market cap, designing machines for which email is a primary use-case. They employ thousands and thousand of engineers. They should be able to build a mail client. Many
