Hi,
Are there any idea of using Gmail as CVS? Or any mail system can be
used as CVS? Thx!

the idea makes no sense.
1. the server software still has to run on your machine.
2. the server has to 7-bit encode-decode every io to the Gmail server
which make take several seconds to handle each i/o.

Even with a repository on the same machine the server code runs, CVS
is still annoyingly slow.

If you have cable access, you can host your own CVS server. You can
also find cheap or free ISP hosting. See
