Re: "As I'm working on my Misfin implementation, I'm also..."
My plan would be to create a Gemini front-end with which people can read and write mail only if they have the correct client certificate. I like your ideas as well, though, although I don’t know enough to understand whether the git idea is fully secure.
Allowing ssh (and therefore scp/ rsync) is definitely something I would do in addition to a Gemini frontend.
I use the first person because I do plan on implementing a version of this at some point.

Since what I'm writing is a library at the moment it could actually be used in the way you describe, too. In fact I'm planning on putting the filesystem storage backend behind a feature gate at some point, so that you don't pay for what you don't use.
The idea of a Gemini/Titan frontend is obviously something that would have a lot of appeal. I would love to see this happen both for people who would rather access it through a browser and for those who prefer a command line interface, so I'm glad to hear that you want to work on the former.
As an addition to what I've described above, I'm thinking that a user could upload their outgoing mail to an "Outbox" folder. The server would keep a watch on it and periodically send anything it finds in there. That makes for a nice simple mechanism for sending mail, if you don't own the server or are physically in a different location.
I also support a front end and command line interface. I mostly interact with Gemini from my phone so this would be ideal

As I'm working on my Misfin implementation, I'm also working up some ideas for how to best make a multi-user and possibly remote setup work, with respect to users being able to read their own mail (and only their own mail). I'm going to describe some half formed thoughts I've been kicking around and see if anyone has any thoughts on the subject. This is all going to be pretty much outside the spec, as I'm thinking in terms of storage and access to it. Note that this is all in the context of...
