Would it be possible to build a service that resembles email using this technology? Like dropping a message file within a local folder and making it appear on someone else's local folder?

@pfrazee threw together a demo app called PaulMail [1] that you can view in Beaker [0]. It's very simple and is just a proof-of-concept (messages are unencrypted, for example), but it does hint at possibilities there.

Your recipients also need to be in your beaker address book for it work. It's a very rough PoC.
