Good you ask.

What I mean is that I would be very happy to use a solution which enables me
to access all my emails online through a webbrowser, independently from the
computer I access it from, have unlimited distributed storage space, and
uses free and open source softwares ( gpl 3.0 ? ) which I/anyone can use to
reproduce and modify such solutions on any network for no monetary cost.

In exchange, I would be willing to share processing power and other
resources ( some shared storage space ) of the computer I m using when its
idle and/or of from whatever computer I am accessing it during the time I am
accessing such distributed service. ( in a similar way as Bit Torrent
solutions ? )

For the moment, I mostly know about free open source solutions that enable
me to host email on any server I choose, and I use such solution too.

Otherwise, to reply more directly to your last question,
My contact list and a all my email from all the email accounts I have used
up to today are backed up on a hard disk ( external hard disk, cd backups,
etc ) since I started using email ( in 1996 ? )
