Hi,
Email is currently not planned, because it's not easy (IMAP, POP...) to do it correctly and securely.
But as many users seems interested, I may add it to the roadmap :)

Email hosting would be a good idea. That's how Zoho gets people in.

Honestly, even without the search function, I think this is one of the most base level functions of Google's toolkit. Everything else is just convenient

Agreed. This seems like a neat project but mail and search are the only things I'd be really looking for in a free and open source Google.

My E-Mail is hosted by Zoho, but I use none of their other services. Oops.
I want to move my radio station away from google so badly, and if you can add email hosting, even just a pop server I can start pointing my new address to you. As it is, I want to sign up without having to use another service (which is going to be google, let's face it) and it would be great to have this all stored in one place.
