I think Freemail is quite an important app. I think it would be very useful from a political standpoint (it tops Guerra's wishlist), from a self hosting development standpoint (the rest is easy once we have email), and for various other reasons.
Should it be in the top 4 SoC apps? If not, can you give me a specific reason why not? I admit that its implementation in the current system will be a bit ugly, but I'm not sure this is a serious problem *as long as routing works*. 0.8 might introduce server messaging and so on, but IMHO we should use the storage layer as much as possible; this is why I want to use passive requests to implement pub/sub. Anything that relies on a server being up right at the instant of the message being sent is susceptible to intersection attacks; we should play to our strengths, namely non-real-time communication.
