What would it take? Too much work to make it a net-positive outcome. Plus, fewer people use email, and it will eventually become an anachronism.
Better would be a standardized, secure public service to store and retrieve data on top of which any protocol could be built.
Once people own and control their service data, lots of things will become decoupled.

Sounds like a good idea. Do you know if any public entity has made an attempt at this space? I don't even know how to begin a search for this kind of work let alone if it exists.

I have a friend who’s trying to work with state governors (in the USA) to establish a block-chain where each state hosts one node of the network. But, I haven’t keep current with what he’s doing.
But what would this take? If there were municipality-owned servers that allowed for basic email how could abuse be prevented? Make it an open source project with public inspection allowed to prevent abusive manipulation of data? E2E throughout the system? What would this take? Someone has to have thought about it before.
