I read last year that they thought about doing it in Switzerland too, but the privacy issues worried them too much, never heard of it after that :/ I think it would be cool, less paper around.

Is this a joke? How is this different from email?

Thought this was cool too, until I sign-up in haste and then read the terms (obvious lesson learned there, dah me!). Terms state that you participate in forwarding your mail to them and I am not cool with that. I e-mailed them and asked that my account be retracted and they responded stating that this is only mail from one zumbox account to another zumbox account. So I concur, this has to be like e-mail.
