[Logicmail-devel] S/MIME in LogicMail

[bartek b. <maj...@gm...>]

Hello all!

I am wondering, are there any plans to incorporate S/MIME support in
LogicMail? That would make LogicMail a more complete alternative to
BlackBerry email service. If there are no plans to implement S/MIME in the
future, is there any particular reason why?

The reason I ask is because, I need an email client with S/MIME support for
BlackBerry that is not tied to BES. It is possible that I would be able to
help with S/MIME implementation in LogicMail, if there are plans to do so.

Best regards,

Right now you could say S/MIME is on the endless "perhaps someday if I 
have time" portion of my personal list.  So that basically means I'm not 
currently planning to work on it, but I'm not in any way opposed to it.  
In fact, I'd like it very much if LogicMail had both PGP and S/MIME support.

The real problem is that since I work on this project in my spare time, 
I haven't been putting enough work as it is into the core 2.0 
featureset.  Right now my personal main priority is just getting 2.0 
into a usable and releasable application.  (the only "features" on my 
immediate to-do list being network-connection-management/server-polling, 
and other under-the-covers things, then it just fixing issues and 
getting everything in there more robust and correct)

However, if you are interested in working on an S/MIME and/or PGP 
implementation for LogicMail, I'd definitely be interested in 
integrating it.  (provided, of course, that its decently designed and 
well integrated, though we can use this list to discuss such details)

I would be very glad to integrate my code into LogicMail code base and I am
sure we could work something out regarding the design (at last I think of
myself as a decent developer:-)).

Do you think implementing S/MIME (well, I am not that much interested in
PGP) would be a lot of work? I have seen some BlackBerry APIs on
Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS), but nothing on S/MIME, so I guess
everything above CMS will have to be implemented by me.

Kind regards,

I would very like to hear your opinion about possibilities of implementing
S/MIME for LogicMail, so I am writing again. I had a conversation with
management at the company I work at and they agreed that we could contribute
much of the produced code back to LogicMail community. I think I could start
working on it soon.

What do you think?

Kind regards,
