For various reasons, I think that countries simply declaring email to be part of the postal channel is not the ideal way forward. At least from a US perspective, if you look at the postal laws and the way we legalized businesses such as Fedex despite the postal monopoly, there’s a reasonable argument to be made. Email, at least in its modern form (not government-provided “e-post,” or even a service meant to supplement or replace “e-post,” but rather, purely private, commercial services) is more of a challenge. But one way or another, the law needs to keep up with the way that people handle their important communications.
