/usr/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py

  1. modify mailpile to do something when there's something.
  • understand how mailpile works
  • python hooks into pond

so it's like a pond-diverting plugin in thunderbird

  • what if the client encrypts the traffic completely??? I'd have to mitm wouldn't I... so it does require being part of the client. I'm pretty sure. Two options:
  1. Hook into the client, before it encrypts and sends over smtp
  2. MITM the client's smtp traffic

Pro of 1: Cleaner, not MITMing, not re-smtping, can use the client's address book Pro of 2: Outside the client.

Ok, I should figure out how to send programmatically through Pond.

Create a proxy

  • Fork Mailpile and Pond
  • Set up Mailpile to point to a local proxy instead of directly to server

Syncing to IMAP

  • When the proxy receives an email with a particular subject line: Move headers to message content Replace headers with default/junk values Move message to specific folder Delete original message Make sure these changes sync

Sending through Pond

Integrate Pond into proxy Set up two instances of Pond (?) When an email is sent with a particular subject line: Move headers to content Put in Pond’s format Send over Pond When a message is received on a Pond instance Unbox it into the mail program’s format Sync it in with the cryptoblob folder

Integrating new and old mails

Get messages stored in the cryptoblob folder to synchronize with the local client’s index Switch recognition of newmail messages/ newmail capability from subject line to SMTP header Add UI element to indicate extra-super-special protection Automatically switching to newmail When we see a “newmail-capable” header in an email, mark it in the contact card. Key management Set up some automatic system for key management. Either Pond’s or Coniks’ or Mailpile’s (but automatic). Multiple devices Add a scheme for viewing the same encrypted messages from different devices Password-enabled recovery Optionally, have key based on a password so a user can log in and see all files. Paranoid mode Implement out-of-band discovery option to avoid handshake through legacy mail
