The Email v2 initiative - EMV2

The birth of Email was in 1971 and is more or less the same today. Between then and now the internet is completely different. Today the major content of the internet is owned by a few large tech companies with proprietary solutions and ownership of your data. This has been accepted by all internet users for mainly two reasons, it's for free and monopoly(no alternatives). The downside is that the ownership of your data doesn't belong to you and with very limited control of the use of your data. The last decade has shown this model has large issues through massive lawsuits and governmental initiatives to protect your data

Email is today the only major Open Standard on the internet for communication between people. The idea of this initiative if to create and implement a new extended version of the Email standard

To enable a new version of the Email the following major items is identified

  1. Global unique person identifier (like email address)
  2. Security with encryption and authentication
  3. Common Personal Information Act (like GDPR)
  4. Storage of text and media(Images, video, sound, etc..)
  5. Location data
  6. Time data
  7. Datamodel for organizing data

The current Email Global internet structure and dataflow

  1. The email is sent to sender's SMTP Email Service Provider(ESP) server
  2. The receivers SMTP ESP is looked up using MX records
  3. The email is sent from sender to all receivers using receivers ESP-SMTP protocol
  4. The receivers receive the Email from its ESP using the POP or IMAP protocol

The future EMV2 Global internet structure and dataflow

  2. The changes is published on Actor 1 EMV2 Service Provider (EMV2SP) using EMV2I (Email V2 Interface)
  3. Actors 2 and 3 EMV2SP is looked up using MX records
  4. The changes is published on Actor 1 and 2 EMSSP
