A fast hack would be to port gmailfs from Linux/FUSE, as it uses not POP, but
Gmail WebAPI. As it's already an userspace fs, you would only have to
change FUSE-dependant layer and rework it to check "normal" e-mails
instead of
the ones it uses for file-storage.

I see 9p more as a RPC/resource sharing system - I have a strong feeling
that I'd rather use sthg like AFS (if they implement files with size
>2GB) or other _fast_
network, file-oriented fs for my files (With driver using 9p as interface :D )

Why not... just add it to windows, so you could use 9p mount disks...
And then I'd only have to write XFS/JFS/UFS2 for 9P and stop caring
about not having access to some files :D
