[Feature Request] add a Bridge app like protonmail for access using mail clients #196

Closed jeroenev closed 6 years ago

mpfau commented 6 years ago

An adapter/bridge wouldn't be a lot of work but we decided not to implement it for various reasons:

  1. All mails are stored unencrypted on the devices of the users when you use an adapter/bridge
  2. Without a decent mail client plugin, there is no way for a user to know if his messages will be sent end-to-end-encrypted or not

Both of these reasons are absolute no-gos for a secure mail service like tutanota.
