This is a great idea.  I like the third point especially.  No two
users can agree on the completely same directory structure.  I cannot
even say that me and myself next month would agree on the same
directory structure either.

Incidentally, you titled your idea as Message Storage System.  May I
ask if there is such a fine line distinction between Message and
non-Message?

Yes it does.
