<br>
We have been seriously considering the idea of a modern mail client that is fast, uses modern IMAP extensions, is not Java, and supports secure email inherently.<br>
<br>
Haven't yet had the time, of course. Would that somebody's buy the time. :)<br>
<br>
Anyway. I have yet to find anything that satisfies me and I have been looking for about a year or two. Web clients can be nice but I have a (perhaps snobby) preference for fast, native yet portable and structured code.<br>
<br>
Something where both OpenPGP and S/MIME are natively supported. Something that allows for a local cache, not a replica of the server side. Something where Sieve support is first-class. Something that has a sane and stable backend and is capable of having many different front ends. Something that is widely portable without reliance on a stacked hot mess of C++, XML, JavaScript and all sorts of what I think are utterly over engineered components in e.g. the Mozilla "application framework".<br>
<br>
Something that is only as complex as is necessary to do safe, secure, and practical mail, fast.<br>
<br>
Anyway, enough dreaming... Have to get back to work.<br>
