If you can, fun. :-) First, this needs a proper design. Then, one needs
to develop the required pieces of software in a way that it is not a
major pain to maintain all involved servers. Finally, you have to
convince enough organizations to participate and contribute a
substantial amount of storage.

How so?

One happy example is Tahoe-LAFS. It lacks some properties that I would
like to have for mail storage, especially when the mails are written to
the filesystem by an untrusted party, but I don't see a reason why that
functionality cannot be added.

preserving your privacy and security."
