It seems odd to me that your ticket was closed as spam.

I am unclear on all the cloud backends, but arguably IMAP is as
reasonable a method as any of the object stores.

Of course, being a unix/vfs/fuse type, I'd ask why one can't just mount
the remote storage as a regular filesystem and then point tahoe at it,
but that comment is as applicable to the other cloud backends as IMAP.
