Dedicated Mail Services as opposed to "Portals"

[Oren Beck]

The original model for Hotmail in it's pre-MS incarnation was a "Dedicated
Mail Service"
Mail as a sole function. The rest of the details centered on using HTML and
Open Source.
Two of those elements are considered not compatible with most Portal
services-, A good mental exercise is asking which ones and why. The summary?
It seems that naked greed drives Portal sites to black hole like ingest Mail
sites. Then there is a darker side.
