[Kde-pim] Mailpile talk @FOSDEM2014

[Kevin Krammer]

Hi all,

just fnished watching another mail related FOSDEM talk: Mailpile [1].

Basially it is a project building a web based mail client, i.e. using a web 
interface as its primary interface but running for each user separately, even 
locally.

Some pretty cool ideas, both for UI and mail handling!

For example their recipient selector shows the person's cryto status as an 
icon and they handle key management through the contact interface.
I think these things would make sense for us as well.

The core idea of the client is that it is built around a search engine so 
basically all views are searches on keywords and tags.

Speaking of tags, one pretty cool idea for training the integrated spam filter 
is to track what a user does with a mail, e.g. an email that is replied to is 
most likely a good candidate for HAM, etc.

One idea they haven't tried yet is using the same technique, automatic 
classification, for automatically tagging mails.

The end of the talk focuses on crypto, how they want to get more users to use 
encrypted or at least signed mail, how to anonymize traffic, etc.

Long but definitely worth watching.

Cheers,
Kevin
