Maybe something proprietary but with an "open API", or maybe APP
(Atom Publishing Protocol), or maybe something that's secret now,
but will soon explode into the messaging world. The likely
suspect is Google, but it could come from anywhere.

Why am I close to giving up? Because server-side storage and
tagging and annotating and filtering are obvious and have been
obvious for at least 10 years and it just isn't happening. If you
think it is, tell me the clients that support these using
standard protocols:

   server-side storage
   server-side tagging
   server-side annotation
   server-side filtering

The only hope I know of is/was Mulberry and that doesn't seem to
be moving very much these days, despite it's open sourceness.
Pine/Alpine has a really sucky user interface when it comes to
tagging and, as Mark said, message annotation isn't coming soon.
Alpine invented it's own sucky filtering language instead of
using Sieve.

That's why I'm giving up.
