I think many people would shift over to Facebook if there was an email-client. For me it would be convenient too, as I have to communicate far more with people not being members of Facebook than among my FB-friends.
In my opinion email out of Facebook would be a unique tool of marketing and promotion that might bring tons of new users into FB.

If FB email client had all the features of my current client which is Yahoo Mail, I'd definately switch.

I've already made the switch. I am willing to go through the growing pains of using a "simple" messaging system to get back to basics and really discover
(1) what I miss (ie. search) and (2) use cases that may only be apparent in the space of a social networking site (ie. some kind of object graph by contact or community)
There is peace stepping away from email (seemingly cold turkey) and move towards a paradigm that is able to scale regardless of how fast your network grows!
thanks for the article - been looking for positioning for the stance many of us are taking!
