Comment(by Eben):

 Well, presumably anything web based can be OS-integrated through the use
 of some proper GET/POST magic. I'm not sure the best way to tackle the
 problem in light of the desire to have Sugar run on many platforms, and
 also for people without a school server.

 What are your thoughts on the best ways to make such a system, tied into
 the OS/Journal itself, functional in all scenarios? For instance, I think
 Google was happy to provide accounts to all of our kids.  Can we link each
 kid to an account, and automatically send emails from that account (when
 initiating a transfer), or check that account for incoming transfers (with
 some key that identifies them as such), so that we can pull them down and
 display an alert when they arrive automatically?  One reason I like this
 approach is that it might be possible to hook it up to a variety of email
 systems; and if not, anyone can setup a gmail account on their own as
 well.
