This paper introduces an email-client system named "AmEmail", for the automatic consumption and publishing of electronic mail messages on a CMS (Content Management System), which serves as a tool for the visualization, search, annotation and navigation over the emails. The system supports an unlimited number of email accounts and the simultaneous publishing in multiple CMSs. There is the perception that there are plenty of alternatives to email. This article argues a different perspective and reasons about the sanity of a so-called "EDATF" ("Email Data Access and Transparency First") approach, in a context in which users have been ceasing control and working on ever higher abstraction levels, on the razor's edge of events that will cause them technostress. With this system, a new way of reading email becomes available, with presentation and functionalities that return some control over their data, to end-users. This is a novel approach, with extra degrees of freedom, beyond the conventional "inbox".
