What's your vision on this, Henry?

Vision perhaps but it would give me Open Source Email that works with

But what would you do with an email server, integrated with MV or

with this.

Open Source means nothing unless you're going to change the source.
We can already send email to/from any email server from MV. And we
can integrate with other email servers, regardless of the status of
their source code. So outside of point1 being "open source" and
point2 being "Pick", what makes this scenario particularly useful or
unusual compared to any other?

I've come to the conclusion that he's of the opinion that Open Source is the salvation of EVERYTHING. And any Open Source project that has anything to do with data (perhaps not even database) should support, work with, integrate, consume, produce, and use Pick for the data.
Whether or not that combination has any value or reason to exist, well, doesn't seem to be part of the equation.
With DBMail, I looked at it and thought, "He wants to have a mail server that stores the mail messages in a Pick database?" Well I guess if some business application had some need for that, maybe it makes sense. You know, need to query mail messages.
Or maybe he thinks OpenQM should also be a mail server?
I really don't know.
I would ask... but we've all spent way too many mind-seconds on this topic....

Yes, it is. And we're still waiting for an answer to the question "Why?"

DBMail + Pick = ???????
