How should email be offered on the laptops?
OLPC intern Imran Akbar is working on a prototype email client written in Python. It will initially utilize existing POP/IMAP servers to store messages, and use a keyserver for GPG encryption and zlib compression built-in. The GUI interface will be simpler, with three tabs on the left: Mail and Contacts... voicemail capabilities will be added later utilizing the Speex codec.
