Email should be changed so that the contents of a email lives on the

Uhm, and if the recipient and sender are on dialup and never online at
the same time? The mail should stay on the ISPs server?

Right.

And then how does the ISP know that it is really the recipient
polling for new mail?

The technical problems are easy.  In this case, what gets sent is a
long key, so anybody who has it can be presumed to have received it
legitimately (or at least have access to the recipient's email, so
this method is no less secure than current email).
