@Tutanota @thunderbird @k9mail would a bridge-like solution not work in your case?

* 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). @Tutanota @thunderbird @k9mail i see, that makes sense. Thanks for providing those details, really appreciate gestures like these! |
@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: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/2fa-desktop-clients
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.
