FAQ Feature Requests
Yes, we use "Tags" instead of folders, but they function similarly. We also have a filters feature that works with Tags.
Is there the an ability to synchronize contact information with an external contact manager like Google contacts?
We will support importing of contacts from Google Contacts, but not synchronizing back to Google. However, someone may make a plugin to do so.
Yes. Soon.
Not yet, no. But in the future yes.
Perhaps, but we are not excited about Apple's App Store policies as well as their known involvement with the NSA.
Sure you can. But realize that you're writing with pre-alpha code or alpha code.
I want an inbox that allows messages in and out from many different sources - email, SMS, voicemail, facebook, twitter, etc.
We think this is REALLY cool, hopefully our community will help us make awesome plugins that make this a reality faster!
Yes, absolutely, this currently exists as much of our team of Linux / Unix geeks.
Maybe.
Yes, this is currently implemented.
Users can specify this from the "Settings" interface.
Make users should be allowed to choose rather or not SSL is enabled. SSL should be either a self signed key which Mailpile makes, or a key the user provides.
This is a great idea. We will hopefully implement features for SSL like this once we get further a long :)
We are not sure how much we want to develop towards supporting Apple's heavily walled (and surveilled) garden, but consider accessing a mobile web app of Mailpile served from a Raspberry Pi on an iOS device
Yes, once POP & IMAP is implemented we will support this feature.
Have the option to auto port forward using NAT-PMP/UPnP and possibly offer a free DNS record on mailpile.is that is used as a dynamic DNS so users can access their mail by going to mrgecko.mailpile.is as an example.
This is an interesting idea that we are considering.
Inbox zero is a noble goal. Is that what you meant? We hope to encourage & work on plugins to achieve this goal.
No plans to do what Lavabit did as they were a centralized solution. Decentralization is one of our main end goals. We are considering offering services (relays, servers) that make the sending of email more secure + allow for decentralization + are sustainable + user friendly.
Can you backup the mails? / Since I understand they are stored in the computer the backup would be very important. Could the backup be automatic?
The idea is to decentralize emails and not to collect them and store them. This is why Mailpile is an email client and not an email server. The users are supposed to store their emails themselves in their computers or on USB sticks, so that they will have full ownership and power over their emails, meaning they are not stored with a 3rd party. Therefore, people will have to make and store the backups themselves. For automatic backups you could probably find a software that would do that for you on your computer.
Yes it is possible to send an encrypted mail to several recipients at once. It is encrypted with multiple different keys. It should be possible in the Alpha version already, but if it turns out to be bugged, then wait for the Beta version that is planned for release at the end of July 2014.
