Popis:	Common problems affecting modern email usage include spam, lack of sender verification, lack of built-in security and lack of message integrity. This paper looks at how we can utilise the extensible messaging and presence protocol also known as XMPP to, in time, replace email facilities. We present several methods for initiating a transition away from SMTP for email to rely upon the inherent benefits of XMPP with minimal disruption to existing networks and email infrastructure. We look at how a program might be used to open an existing POP3/IMAP account, scan for messages that can be sent to a XMPP network user, extract the message and then deliver it the XMPP user's client. We show that the system can be implemented and then deployed with a minimum of hassle and network disruption to demonstrate XMPP as a reliable and fast replacement for email as we know it today.
