I once said

Nostr will be as mainstream as email because it works similarly but better

Glad someone is taking time to explore this, will have to check out the client, direct messaging or mailing lists are a much more straightforward way to use nostr than twitter clones.... and email has just as many if not more problems than centralized social networks

NIP-65 moves it in this direction but my stats show its got relatively little uptake and only a handful of relays cover most of the people that have it configured anyway

NIP-17 on the other hand is privacy larp that works against it, need to investigate how an nmail server might deal with it

And I am sure that with this kind of apps like Nmail it can be implemented an anti-spam feature based on proof of payment or PoW. So only whitelisted identities can send you messages.

Exactly, the key-based nature of it is what unlocks enhancements over email because there's diverse ways to achieve that... PoW, payments, WoT can all work together

Email spam mitigation is largely a reputation of the provider, there's maybe a dozen providers now that can assure high deliver-ability... rolling your own is doable but wildly impractical for individuals, and that's still subject to DNS registry etc.

A key that can use any number of relays at any time breaks down a bunch of walls, then there's meta-protocols that can go on top of that... your Lightning Pub in that example already has its own email account :)
