Not in the slightest idiomatic. If you know what email and messaggio means, you can realise that it's an email message (deleted English entry). Mglovesfun (talk) 11:56, 22 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Keep. To me it does not mean "email message", it just means email. They like to be more precise in Italian than we do in English, where a simple email can be any part of speech and have concrete and abstract senses. —Stephen 16:43, 25 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
Keep. Italian isn't the only language that does this. E-mail in a lot of other languages doesn't mean "a piece of e-mail", it means to the "system for transferring messages from one computer to another". We wouldn't say "an e-mail message" in English, but it's exactly what they would say a lot of the time. — [ R·I·C ] opiaterein16:54, 25 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
Delete messaggio di posta elettronica as pure SoP. If email in Italian only refers to the system sense the entry there needs a gloss to indicate that. Either keep messaggio e-mail and messaggio email or delete if an adjective sense for (deprecated template usage) email could be appropriately added to the Italian entry. — Carolina wren discussió 17:40, 25 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
Keep messaggio di posta elettronica as well. The word email is a very recent loan in Italian (as it is in many other languages) and messaggio di posta elettronica is the proper term for it. —Stephen 19:30, 25 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
I should point out, people can comment on these separately above if they wish. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:54, 10 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
