It would suck, because real users check their mail from their desktops, their laptops, and their phones. Your TV would not have the sophisticated mail sorting, archiving, and searching of the large mail systems. And, of course, when its cheap SSD flaked, you'd lose all your saved mail. I swear, this whole conversation feels like I've fallen through a wormhole into 1998.
