What I mean is that "mail" was a thing before email protocols existed. "Mail" and even "email" has meaning beyond any specific technology.

The name told you what you could expect the technology to do. That's why it made sense to include these words in the name of email clients.

The same is not true for "Matrix".

What is the equivalent? One of these: instant messaging, group messaging, teamware, groupware, team chat, group chat ... ?

Chat seems to be closest?

So MatrixChat might work?

Genuinely asking.
