Wave mail
You're referring to "wave mail" or "wave email"!
Wave mail is a type of email service that uses the WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) protocol to enable real-time communication between users.

- File sharing: Users can share files and attachments with others.
- Audio and video conferencing: Users can engage in audio and video conferencing with others.
- Screen sharing: Users can share their screens with others, making it easy to demonstrate software or collaborate on projects.
