True cost of email: We only get 1h 12min/day of uninterrupted productive time

Mail servers should be required to queue emails for 12h before distributing them. Mail is not IM. Maybe I should write an RFC... Or use mixmaster as my SMTP server

You might forget you even have that feature enabled, until you need a login code sent to your email.

An RFC would be interesting, but I am not sure it would be adopted. You might start with a gist on github with the configuration settings required to do this in postfix, qmail, sendmail, powermta, etc. It might help to give the page a shiny logo and a trendy name. If there is enough interest, perhaps even register a domain with a catchy name. What would be a good name for it?

I like it! I might just modify my postfix servers to queue up mail for a while before processing. I like your idea.
