@hhg @thunderbird @k9mail Thanks for your feedback, but that's not possible due to the encryption.

@hhg @thunderbird @k9mail No it would not. We don't plan to develop a bridge, but focus on adding features such as offline availability to the desktop clients - which are are way advanced in comparison to a bridge: tutanota.com/blog/posts/2fa-de

A bridge is no solution because:

* With such a bridge all data, including a search index, would be stored unencrypted in the third party email client. We aim for a solution where all data is always stored securely encrypted.

@hhg @thunderbird @k9mail

* Upon sending an email out of the third party email client, the user can't possibly know whether the email is actually going to be send end-to-end encrypted (the client can't show this as a bridge works on a different level). Therefore sending confidential emails via a bridge is essentially impossible...

* IMAP and SMTP are not the most efficient protocols especially when it comes to push notifications or to attachments of emails (which are encoded into the body).
