Forget all this. Start using GPG.

1. Does it work with thunderbird?

Try the enigmail extension. I think that's the name. I don't use Thunderbird. Kmail supports GPG pretty well.

2. Will it ensure that any mail to any service provider's recipient will

never get dropped or bounced, subject to file size limits?

Well the service provider can use domainkeys. From what I've read, Yahoo has published it under GPLv2. It also has submitted the RFC to IETF.

3. Does it work with web based free email services like yahoo, gmail,

rediffmail, hotmail?

Uhhh, no, but if they choose to ignore a standard (de facto maybe, if not de jure) like PGP, what makes you think they'll go ga-ga over the estamps idea?

Was this idea intended to be practical?
